In this season
We’ve been granted a slower pace
Living simply in the every day
And finding God there too

The rush has been left behind
A deep breath in, a long exhale
Holding tightly to the present
And each other

I’ve traded the morning commute
For morning cartoons
A full cup of chocolate milk
Next to my coffee with cream

The crunch beneath my feet
A small hand in mine
Your three strides to my one
We’re in rhythm

I’ve long been searching for contentment
And I’m finding it too
In “I love you mama”
and “I love you too”

When the world is chaos
Our little universe found peace
Even if only in this season
As time is soon fleeting, flying, leaving

Someday I’ll remember when
We turned off the “fast”
Before I’m reaching, grabbing
For times past

You are my beautiful reason
For this season
Little one
And for all to come.
