On a hot and sunny Friday afternoon
We’re on our fourth walk of the day
You like the outdoors what can I say

We’re looking at the cars
It’s the end of the week
Workers coming home for a well-deserved break

I’m exhausted
My work is around the clock
With you there is no break
Eat, diapers, play, sleep

On repeat
Without missing a beat
I can’t stop
It’s a 24/7 thing

And I wouldn’t change any tiny piece of it
I’m pushing myself
Beyond any limit I’ve ever known
My heart has never been more full

So full of gratitude
So happy I could die
Except the mission is calling
I cannot quit

Life is expensive
Gotta work
Love is expansive
Get to work

Little traveller
Hidden in your kangaroo pocket
Let me carry you
Around the world

You make me walk for miles
To find a little rest
Your heart already wants to see
The best the world has to offer, the birds and the bees

Tanned as an Amazon, I’m your mama bearer
I’ll take you wherever you want to go
I’ll follow your lead
You my angelic guide

Hot and sticky
We’re both so sweaty
In the midst of one of the first summer nights
When the heat wave hits

We’ve taken our little walk around the block
That usually puts you to sleep
But tonight I’m a bit worried
I can’t tell if you’ve had enough

All day we were both so sweaty
We stayed inside, eating, chilling, napping
Your little head close to my heart
Your hair so wet up against my chest

Drink drink drink I told you later
Knowing you’re only source of hydration was your mother
And in that moment realizing
How vulnerable you are

I’m your unique supplier
You come to me for food and drinks
I’m your sole provider
You’re lifeline this evening

I feel rich to get to feed you
Nourish and nurture you
I feel prosperity in my bones
Being able to offer you my milk

I can’t even imagine
Relying on an external source for all
I will honour the trust of your soul
And make sure you always get everything you need

So tonight my love it’s open bar
Drink drink drink from the fountain of love
I will eat the cucumbers and watermelon
To keep my milk supply steady
So you never go hungry or thirsty
But first and foremost
I will take care of my soul
So yours receive all the nutrients to grow strong and healthy

A pure miracle
The answer in the prayer
You got to us in August
But you really came through in November

In the season of harvest we planted a seed
Nurtured it through all winter
Through the cold you already
Were keeping us warm

Then it was spring
A spring that looked like summer
Here comes the sun

And there you were
Fiery fierce princess lioness of God
Sensitive soul, born with strength in your bones
A perfect mix of Aries and Pisces
My little Temperance card

I’m so sorry my love
With all the changes, the newness, the lack of sleep
Somehow I figured you needed a strict routine

Like a little robot I put you on a schedule
Wake up! Eat! Go back to sleep!
Oblivious of what you really need

In the beginning it might have made sense
You were so small, I wanted you to get all those feeds
But you’re growing strong and healthy
I do not need to worry

I trust you now my love
I see you, my happy baby
Let’s stop all this nonsense
And make all those awake moments together time well-spent

I can’t stay still
The mission is too big
Your precious life in my hands
How could I ever let go

All day all night
Carrying your tiny person
The infinity of your soul

Anxiety through the roof
Will I ever be enough
You chose me, will I show up
To deserve your blessing

I have no choice but to slow down
Sit in stillness for a while
As the days pass by
I don’t want to miss a thing

Every smile every sight
I want to grab
Hold on to it tight
As these will fly

There’s a coaster your dad got
From his very important job
It says world’s best dad
And it has his name on it

I know, kind of cheesy
But my love I have to tell you
In this case, we’re very lucky
As it’s very very true

Your dad is the best
Yes, his hands are often cold and he dresses a little funny
PJ pants and cowboy hat on
But he loves you so deeply

If only you could see
The smile on his face as he dances with you
On old country songs you both listen to
When he patiently rocks you to sleep

He bought a huge car just for you tiny person
So you’d be safe as you’ll travel the world
Road trip after road trip playing Chris Stapleton
From Austin Texas to Nashville Tennessee

The look of love
In your daddy’s eyes
As he watches you sleep at night
If only you knew

But you do
Wise soul of yours
You’ve travelled across galaxies
To get the best dad in the whole universe

You’re quiet my baby
Sleepy sleepy
I was writing some poetry
When I felt you become a little more heavy

Drift away, dream about
The wild adventures you’re gonna have
The sweet memories we’re already creating
We’re going all out

I still can’t believe
I get to spend the rest of my life with you
This seems too good to be true
Enjoy every moment of it is all I can do

I know now what it feels to be a mother
I hold you close, I can protect you
From any harm, from any hurt
But this won’t always be true

Soon you’ll already be out and about
I’ll have to let you explore and play outside my aura for a while
This won’t be easy, I cannot lie
Having your heart living outside your body, I hope I’ll survive

You precious little gem
I really do want to hold on to you forever
But I promise I will do my best
So you can live your life to the fullest

My little bunny

From day one I knew
Seeing all those rabbits jumping at me
You were my little bunny

Everytime I doubted you sent them my way
Saying a little hello, a much welcomed sign
That you were still up for the ride

It soon became a running gag
A little rabbit gift wrapping here, a bunny little game there
You were no doubt having fun, my dear

You went as far as to be born
In the year of the Water Rabbit
I love you so much
My favorite little rabbit
