𝐈 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞,⁣⁣

I carried you with swollen feet and heartburn,⁣⁣

ate healthy to help you grow big and strong,⁣⁣

laughed one second and cried the next,⁣⁣

and ran to the restroom 50 times a day with restless sleep,⁣⁣

until you were ready to come into this world,⁣⁣

𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And then time froze, as you were placed into my arms,⁣⁣

my eyes heavy with exhaustion and love,⁣⁣

and I held your little body and fed you until you gave a little smile and fell asleep on my chest.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞,⁣⁣

to want to be better.⁣⁣

And right now, you need me in a way that you will never again,⁣⁣

to carry you in my arms until I can’t because you’re too heavy,⁣⁣

to dress you until the day you can put your pants on yourself,⁣⁣

and to be your everything.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣⁣

when everything screams, I can’t.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.⁣⁣

So, my mind and heart revolve around you,⁣⁣

and always will.⁣
