True Love Discovered

One moment
One moment was all it took
The test came back positive
My life changed forever
In one moment

Nine months later
I hold you while you sleep
Awake with the moon
Exhausted
So....exhausted

But your perfect face
Hand crafted by the gods
Your hair, tickles my arm
Like the wind dances upon my skin

Your eyes
So bright
Full of wonder
Full of light

Your lips
Part slightly as you dream
Your ears
So tiny hear everything

10 perfect fingers
10 perfect toes
You are seven pounds twelve ounces
Of
Pure
Perfection

I can give you
What no one else can
I can give you the world

You fall asleep
To the beat of my heart
And I lie awake
To watch you breathe

I lie awake
to make sure you live

Three years ago
I would’ve done anything to die

But today
I’d give anything to live
