Sometimes They Only Want You

Sat Feb 25 2023|poetry

Sometimes they only want you,⁣ to read them a story before bed snuggled right into you,⁣ to lay next to them, hands clasped together, while they close their eyes,⁣ to make them their favorite snack the way they like it,⁣ to play a game of chase where you catch and tickle them to the ground, to give pain-healing kisses to their boo-boos that make everything better,⁣ to help them use the potty,⁣ and to dance around the kitchen to their favorite song.⁣ And that will continue no matter their age.⁣ Though it will be different,⁣ they will still only want you,⁣ to wipe their tears when they go through a breakup,⁣ to let them know everything will be okay, to advise them to say “no” when they can’t themselves,⁣ to babysit their kids when they take their partner to dinner,⁣ and to talk to about everything "baby," and soak in your opinion.. ⁣ Because they trust you,⁣ they know how much you love and support them,⁣ and you’re their person. And sometimes **𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐦!!**
