Morning Melodies of Love
Dawning Joy: A Parent's Awakening
Waking up to the sounds of bird tweets
makes my bed feel like jungle leaves beneath me.
As I watch my daughter sleep beside me, I feel like Kala watching over baby Tarzan as he sleeps.
The first moment she opens her eyes, I see the loss of star lullabies and a new discovery of the day's sunshine.
Oh, the light that shun through brought out a brighter light only Jesus knew.
Her eyes met mine, and my smile came through.
With this newfound joy, my heart dancing like David did, I could only muster the simplest phrase to express to her what his life had did.
Good morning beautiful. the moment those words escaped my lips, sparked the love in her, and she moved closer, holding me with a tight grip as she lay her head on my heart.
Slothful time feels, I’m enjoying this standstill.
My heart beating like an African drum, I breathe in, her embrace of love.
Until she breaks the silence with a word, bottle.
Thank God I am able to fuel her day of dreams.
