Month: February 2020

These little feet of yours
so soft and perfect
still smaller than my hands
love to run and get all silly
often dirty, sometimes hurt,
but you are happy
because you are where you want to be. 😃
Just like when I hear your bare feet
stumbling to my room
half asleep in the middle of the night. 🌖
My rest is now interrupted
but I don’t care
and quickly welcome you,
my beloved child,
because one day you might feel lonely
you might feel scared,
and I might not be here. 🏠
One day you will be a man
and will no longer look for safety
and comfort in mommy’s arms.
Those feet will take you places 🌎
Some roads may be quite bumpy
but that’s how you will learn
about the roller coaster life is. 🎢
Walk and love ❤️ firmly but cautiously,
follow your instincts,
trust your gut feelings and stand,
always respectful, wherever you want to
my beautiful child, whenever you need
to stand up for yourself.
