One beautiful blend

I know you won’t remember

The way we dance at night

Your body on my chest

Hands held under moonlight

⠀

Your finger tips scan my face

From my eyes to my lips

Your feet move with me

As I rock you from my hips

⠀

I know you won’t remember

All the times we lie awake

Me whispering you stories

Repeatedly till day break

⠀

You try to move in closer

And you shuffle back and forth

Looking for a better spot

To enjoy our shared warmth

⠀

I know you won’t remember

Me carrying you around

From early morning through til dusk

You hardly touch the ground

⠀

I scoop you up, carry on

With my only one free hand

And talk you through my movements

To help you understand

⠀

I know you won’t remember

The way I calm your fears

How holding you to my heart

Can wipe away your tears

⠀

Or how distressed you can get

When I leave you for a while

In hands very different to mine

You seeing a new smile

⠀

I know you won’t remember

Just how much joy you bring

Or how you’ve helped me to grow

Into who I am becoming

⠀

The challenges we both face

And the nights that never end

We are there for each other, always

We are one beautiful blend

⠀

I know you won’t remember

Much of these early days

Often I fret that I won’t either

Through my sleep deprived haze

⠀

But I promise I’ll remember

These special years of us

Through photos, videos, memories

For us, one day, to discuss.
