Faded

Faded

The time spent with you when you were littles, the days are long, but boy do the years seem short.

They say to enjoy it while it lasts because it goes by so fast. You won’t really understand those words until it has faded from view, it isn’t all shiny and new. Sometimes I wish I knew then what I do now. I don’t know if I would do it differently because that would mean that you would be different too. But, sometimes I wish I could go back, even if for just a second or two.

To see your sweet little face, all chubby and full of missing teeth. To hear that tiny little voice calling me from the street.

I would sit for hours just rocking you to sleep, singing sweet lullabies, over to your crib I would creep.

Now I look at you while you sleep, all those memories just a little faded, but in its place are all the hopes and dreams I have for you. Those hopes and dreams haven’t faded from view, they are grand and sparkly and new! Just know, the love I have for you is never faded, it will always be ever present and in plain view.

Faded
