Fleeting

I snapped the pics of this blue-eyed beauty earlier today. Then, as I held her in my arms and rocked her to sleep on my neighbors’ swing, I thought about how I wished today would last a little longer. Listening to her sleepy little sighs, smelling her freshly washed hair, and feeling her heaviness in my arms. I know that tomorrow brings the brightness of a new day, a fresh new start. But right now, for just this moment, I think I’ll savor today.
