The Personification Of Love

You are the personification
Of love.

So small,
So precious,
Our shared creation.

I would stare at you
For hours
In your crib,
In my arms,
In daddy's arms,
In your bath.

I didn't want
To share you
With the world,
But I knew
It was the first stage
Of letting go.

Soon it would be
To preschool,
Then to regular school
Then college or university.
Soon I would have
To let go.

Till then
I will drink in these moments.
The first time you smile,
The first word you speak,
The first step you make.

To me you are the personification
Of love.
