To Joshua at one.

I spent time away during this your first year,

and in hoping somehow we wouldn't lose each other,

we didn't.

Your smiles at me

when you walk for my leg

fill my days for days

with thoughts of you.

Our Time now

takes us away from each other,

we live under rules, separated

but always, together.

Our time is tomorrows

at beaches, and in fields

we'll learn from each other about life.

I love you Joshua.
