Just a few more minutes
To hold you while you sleep
A few more minutes
Where the world won’t utter
A peep
Just a few more minutes
While you’re this small
Where nothing else matters
At all
Just a few more minutes
To savor this scene
As your heart beats
With mine
As it did for
9 months time
Just a few more minutes
With your soft breath
Inhaling, exhaling
In complete trust
Head heavy on
My bust
Each subtle snore
A beckoning for
Just one minute
More
For these moments are
Fleeting
For now, I’ll savor
The heart beating
Atop my own
A few more minutes
To hold you
To kiss your little head
To be your warmth
And freeze this moment
In time
For
Just a few
more
minutes
