Food for my Soul

Every night when I rock you to sleep or tuck you into bed,
I remind myself to stop thinking
about work
about housework
about what's on tv
about how tired, hungry and stressed I am.

Just delight in the feel of your weight in my arms,
the softness of your cheek against mine,
your hand on mine,
softly singing a lullaby or looking at the stars on your ceiling.

These moments are food for my soul: 
I just want to drink them all in.
