fearfully and wonderfully made

they fit perfectly in your arms, curves melting against your body, seeping into your bones your blood your heart

their eyes follow your every move, unblinking, steadily counting each minute you are with them as a singular chunk of eternity

you are their everything which in itself is scary --- such trust, such responsibility foisted upon you --- can you last?

they are miniscule expressions of enduring love and hope

their skin, their eyes, their voices, their small tiny hands and feet, their rotund bellies --- seen on anyone over 12 it is grotesque but in their onesies and rompers they are the cutest beings alive

when they coo and gurgle you know that no matter how you've screwed up in life, you can still make the most innocent and pure being happy

how simple are their ways their needs their lives --- why can't we stay little?

babies are special beings and my god, thank you for giving me another one to love and to raise! it's no walk in the park but after the first one, things don't look too difficult or daunting anymore. before i know it, my little kimi will be as big as his kuya mikka and i will wonder how time could fly so swiftly past.
