In this moment
I will tell you I love you
I will choose to put aside the errands
the being late
the lunch that isn’t packed
I will not comment
on your hair that I just combed
and is now a mess again
I will not focus on the toys left strewn about
or how I stubbed my toe
In this moment
I will pause
I will pull you tight to me so I can feel your heart beat
I will bury my tears in your hair
In this moment
I will tell you I love you a thousand times
and kiss you a thousand times more
In this moment
I will do this
for the parents who cannot

Beautiful poem… Andrea at A Woodland Rose posted this and that is how I found you. We have all been so greatly impacted by the Sandy Hook massacre. What a beautiful poem tribute to those who were lost and who grieve at this time of year. With gratitude, Christine
