House is still
everyone still deep in slumber
Van Morison playing low
softly singing along
the smell of coffee brewing
a soft breeze carries through the room the realisation that this day is another chance for happiness
another chance to get it right
A smile still lingering from a wonderful conversation had just a few hours before
the comforting sound of my son breathing softly in the arms of sleep
how very blessed I am
looking at my child so peaceful brings a tear
not of sadness but from an overwhelming feeling of love
i reach out and run my hand through his red hair and smile
this very moment I am at peace
these are the times that give me strength
memories i can carry in my heart
a place i can run to when the day tries to overpower what strength I have
suddenly the quiet is broken with the whisper of mama I love you
that is the exact moment I know my life has true meaning
I couldn't ask for more
