One Morning

In the soft gray light of morning sneaking in through our window, I saw my beautiful baby. You were tumbled into a pile of blankets, keeping deep brown eyes safe from the mischievous sunlight, long black eyelashes resting against your skin. I stole over to kiss you, heart bursting, and quiety laid a kiss on your cheek. Later, I stood waiting for the train that woud take me away for the morning, that memory lingering. I could feel you against my lips, hear you breathe, and see you, still asleep, wrapped in soft layers of memory. (iloveyou)

Beautiful description capturing the delicacy of emotion and the
wonder of the moment. Well-done.
