The Bottom Line I wrote this a few weeks after my daughter was born (she's now three) and I still feel that sense of gratitude. Hope you like it!
Thank you for every wispy, barely-there hair on her fragile skull Thank you for her questing hands, ever stronger with longer and longer reach, that try to touch the world and bring it to her. Thank you for her sturdy legs and feet now planted to get a taller perspective on the world. Thank you for her bright eyes, rosebud lips, her eagerness to grasp and feel and taste and know the world that daily expands around her. Thank you for her skin, especially those spots on her neck and belly that distil that special blend of softness and johnsons-baby-washedness that is the essence of babydom. Thank you for the very selfness of her self, the parts of us now parts of her, the fizz in her eye, the ready smile, the chuckle deep in her throat when she’s really amused, often by something small. Thank you for all that she is and will become. Thank you for my child. © Sharon Hurley Hall  |
