holding his uninhibited weight against her heart,
breathing in his damp heavy smell
she watches his chest rise and fall, overwhelmed
[to be holding her dream, in her arms, with her eyes wide open]
taking the moment, she tucks it away,
to retell when he’s old enough to understand

A poem of your nephew?
I think that it is, but either way it's exquisite in its innocence and the sheer happiness that radiates from the words.
Grats on the trophy.

There is an abundance of "joy" in our children. I see all this happening because of your words and relate to the tenth power, having given birth to four healthy children. God bless the babies. You have scribe an excellent representation of JOY here poet. Thank you for this entry and I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love & Respect ♥

well looks like my awee was stolen >.<
anyway i loved this! when he's old enough to understand that i dont think he'll want to be held in your arms. it's so sad they grow up way to fast. i say we kidnap him and lock him in a time capsul so you can go back to that moment anytime <3 with how many kids you want you'll have plenty of time to hold each one and tuck away the memories for a rainy day.
such a beautiful write =]

This is so lovely. You really do have to hold onto it and show it to your child when he's old enough to appreciate it. " To be holding her dream, in her arms, with her eyes wide open" is a gorgeous line. The whole poem just makes you go 'awwwwwwww!'.
