The wind was cool and the blue water went on forever
You ran carefree, and full of life.
I held you, wrapped tight in your blanket
I sang you rock-a-bye and swayed in the sand.
You giggled
Your sweet face looked up at me.
Your eyes scrunched tight from your smile.
Sand on your cheeks, I kissed and kissed and kissed them.
Mama, sing more.
I leaned back to rock and began my song again.
Scrunching my eyes to hold back my tears.
Breathing in this moment with the salty air.
This perfect love went on forever.
