Poetry of a Mental Health Patient #71

Josiah pt 3
I’ve known you for 14 months, little one
Rolling through the seasons together
I know everything about you
I love everything about you

Early mornings, every morning,
Coffee and breakfast together,
Your little feet stomping across the house.
Pointing and asking, exploring your world.

You were crawling, now you’re stumbling,
Now you’re walking, now you’re running,
Always on to the next thing,
Chasing me through the house, cackling.

I held you in my arms this morning
For just a moment, because you’re always busy.
For a moment I caught a glimpse
Of the Love that my God has for me.
