If I could stop time

IF I COULD STOP TIME...

If I could stop time,

I would stop it when you slept in my arms

in the quiet night

after you drank my milk and drifted

back into a deep sleep of innocence,

your little lips a puckered pout...

You breathed so deeply, your rising chest warm

and solid against my own heart.

I would hold your tiny hand, and let the world stand still

as I pressed the buttery pads of your fingers

and thought about all the moments

they rested on my face

I would softy tell you every story

he told me so many times...

And they would become a part of us.

I would look at your face in the night-light glow,

trace the lines of your ears

and I would kiss them tenderly

as I petted your fuzzy head and

whispered a lifetime of

I love you's

I'm proud of you

My heart is yours

And yours is mine...

If I could stop time.

(I have so much more to post, but for now, just let me say thanks to everyone who celebrated Conan's 2nd birthday. For those of you who were here, it was an honor to have you. For those of you who could not physically be here, we missed you. I have lots more to post......but for now I think we all need a nice long nap!)
