Just cuddle me mom

Your legs already spill over

No longer contained on my chest.

Each day your eyes widen more

Soaking in what I’ve become blind to.

You remind me it’s all changing 

All of the time

Inviting me to stay still,

But I fight it, I’ll be right there

Just a minute 

Just let me then

Until you sleep again

Breathing into my heart,

With your legs hanging even lower.
