I see you,
hands resting gently on the curve
that holds the world we made.

Your eyes carry something ancient
now-
a quiet knowing,
a soft strength
that even time bows to.

Inside you,
a heartbeat echoes
what we've whispered in the dark-
love,stay,grow,become.

Every moment
you are more
than I ever dreamed.
And this child,
our child,
will know love
because it begins with you.
