The room ethereal
Murmured to us.
Warmth baking us all
You heated the place
With little bitty breaths
Until it felt like sun.
Seashell curled fists,
Baby carrot toes,
eyes so new unopened.
The first time you speak
I gape, gasp, and wonder.
Words a melody.
You're singing my name
all wrong, off key.
You're musicals on Broadway.
God, when you walked.
I read Genesis.
You created my world
All those months.
You bloomed brighter,
grew higher,
soared faster,
stood taller,
than all coming before you.
You do it all for the first time.
You reset my heart
To the beat of your laugh.
