Little Moments

Smiles, coos, giggles, cries
Late nights, early mornings, long days
Trying to soak them all up
You weigh more than yesterday
Wishing that I could press pause
Every day is a goodbye to this version and a hello to the new
Wishing I could bottle up all of the versions of you
Little moments in motherhood
Feel like trying to hold water as it slips through my cupped hand
