I thought I knew love, but this is something else entirely – a force and emotion I cannot quite grasp as your big brown eyes look at me, unsure, unaware that with all my heart, I love you; for all my life, I love you.

Stay Curious

We’ll stand and watch
birds as the rain starts to pour.
You’ll comfort my heart
forevermore.

For Zayn (child of Winter)

Always Wander

I’ll hold you high up and warm
while we watch wisps of snow.
And I’ll love you for always
wherever you go.

For Saif (child of Autumn)

You can see I haven’t changed a bit.

These two have unknowingly and unwillingly crept into every ounce of my being, resonating deep within me. Their innocence, their sudden existence and their lives forever entwined in mine has forced me to change and live with care. Everything I do will affect them and that urges me to chose a careful, steady and gentle path – so they can grow and live with comfort.
