An ode to Elrich

I love you so much it hurts
I live my days in fear and hope
You have taught me to be unconditional
You show me how to look at the world through new eyes
You are teaching me to trust anew
Your cheeky personality makes me laugh
Your love for me helps me love myself
Your love for dad brings us as a family closer
Some days I want to run away and hide from you
mostly I want to keep you from hurt
I know that you will grow apart from me
but for now, can the world just stop turning
so I can hold you tight and forever cover you quietly at night.

Amazing how much love we can feel for these little ones.

Your little man is simply beautiful.
