and love




{welcoming my brother Micah to the world}

it was love at first sight
and probably even before it.

the eyes that open
cautiously,
aware of little else
than the hands that hold him.

the hands that curl
at the slightest touch
around the finger offered.

the perfection
of eyelashes
of fingernails
of the furrowed brow
and pursed lips.

simply
evidence of Grace
by just existing.

simply
a promise of Providence
by just being.

simply
a reason to praise
by just living.

to treasure
to cherish
to love and to love and love.
