LOVED

You were starting to fall asleep, so I put on some soft piano music and laid you in your crib.  You fussed a little, so I held you in my arms and rocked in the rocking chair, the puppies warm at my feet.  I drank a cup of tea, looking around your room and thinking of all the love that I felt in every part of it.  I watched your eyelids grow heavier and heavier, your breathing become even and deep, and the familiar warm heaviness in your sweet little body. 

I thought of just how much I love you.  Of how precious my little family is to me.

And I watched you smile and laugh in your dreams.

And I prayed that you will always know just how loved you are.
