Now I know what they mean

“Your oldest will look so big all of a sudden”

How how? did your little feet come to seem so grown up?

 

When 

you hold him 

he is 

tiny and you’ve grown,

grown Gone 

are the days of just 

me and you, 

me and you, 

you and me, 

i miss the 

“just us” 

“you’re my best bud”

even as i’m in this joy

-full phase my heart 

crying this loss


This is always how it is shedding a skin, closing chapter mourning while so happy, and that is the light and darkness of painting we live in a world of beautiful lighting and contrast and warmth, my heart has grown and my life is bigger and both joy and I guess this grief are wanted in this family of 4

“Do you think joy can just grow?” i ask

“Can i pick up this feather, mom?” you respond.
