Some days we just hang out
This boy and me
Sharing the same space
The same air
Held together by invisible string
A glance to check in with the other
A movement to indicate.... what I don't know
A book appears
I read
He listens
I point to a word
He reads it out loud
Mutual enjoyment brings light
From dark
Loudly I exclaim
Delighted he laughs
A sweet book
A lovely moment captured in time
Mother and son together
I wait
He turns the page
Always ready to take on a role
I look in wonder
At the child I helped create
The man who is a constant in my day
It's not easy
I must admit
Why me, I ask
Why not you, they say
All I can do is...
Nurture
Cherish
Guide
Love
No matter how hard
