Mommy Loves You More than I can Say, Mijo by Endurovet (Poetry)/ Love Letters To Our Children

My heart hiccuped

as I gently opened your bedroom door

& beheld you sleeping

in the same position I had left you in 4 hrs ago…

Were you alright?

Just sleeping soundly,

finally “like a teenager”

even as I puzzled over how you COULD sleep

with the vacuum running downstairs…

I admired your long lean limbs,

the full curve of your sweet lips gently parted,

your tousled hair.

You took my hand & squeezed it

for a long tender moment

as you stretched into consciousness –

that meant the world to me.

I now understand those Victorian poets,

waxing rhapsodic about the merest touch,

feasting my eyes upon you on this,

our last day together for a while.

Mommy loves you more than I can say, mijo.
