Sonshine

One day your hands will be bigger than mine.

I’ll blink and find an empty nest.

I wonder if I’ll remember this moment.

Heavy chest.

Heart weighed down with guilt,

missed memories, and regret.

As I try to rest.

Heartbroken over my own selfishness.

Why didn’t I hold you a little longer?

Look up from my phone a little sooner?

Take in your laugh a little deeper?

Read you that book one more time over?

My boys.

My sons.

Your smiles light up my world like 

sunshine.

Sonshine.

One day your hands will be bigger than mine.
