my little wing,,

as I listen to ‘joy of my life’ by Chris Stapleton, i’ll always have the memory of singing it to you, every time I hear it I’ll be thinking of these times of you my dear.

As you sit in the other room howling and making your silly beautiful sounds, i embrace every moment because it won’t be long, someday this too will be gone.

Today was your first summer party and you said you were doing fantastic, having your happy times with friends, this next phase begins.

you are growing up and moving into working on your 12th year, next ,Someday soon ,like your brother , we will be talking each day through text.

I don’t mean to be overprotective and my shelter to tightly around you little wing, but in my mind it’s the only way to slow the time and enjoy the happiness you bring.

You are the most joyous little person i know, with this life of your wonderful perception ,i hope you will know, your father’s love will never diminish, but only grow.
