The Best

Tuesday writing fun at Two Writing Teachers!

Wide eyes wondering at the world
corners crinkling with delight

a toothless grin rippling across perfect cheeks
opening so wide it splits my heart with joy

gurgles, buzzes, squealing, panting
flailing arms, twisting wiggles
wordlessly shrieking "Mommy!!!"

tiny hands pat and knead
tiny arms squeeze and snuggle

sweet, pure skin against my cheek
nuzzling into delicate, silky hair

the whole world in my arms

the best way to start and end 
every day

the
best 
love

my
best
self.

living my one little word!

    1. Yes! I'm always wondering what she's thinking! How funny it will be when she finally learns to talk! :-)
