My wealth sleeps before me
two innocent heads tucked in and
collapsed in dreams
cheeks scrunched and puffy
breathing—oh so softly
How peaceful!

Filled with wonder & mystery
going about their daily lives
as best they can
trying to understand the world
and above all play!
yearning for approval
wanting to be the greatest
at this or that
on the road
to just learning to be “you!”

This time together
a gift from
heaven.
Time is
God’s miraculous gift

If only I
as a father
can do my part
to fill each moment
with love, patience, & joy.
