journalist, social media junkie, bibliophile,wannabe chef. i admire the arbitrary and the artistic. this blog's my attempt at becoming more than just a point-n-shooter.
you were
a one day, some day dream
two surprised lines on a test kit stick
soon after, the size of a Koo baked bean
now the weight of a 9kg dumbbell
you've gone
from newly born to headstrong
with size 4 feet almost steady on the floor now
whimpers have turned to don’t-you-dare-ignore-me shrieks
and your tiny fists have made noses (mine) bleed
“No, Ubaid!” doesn’t register yet
there’s magic in every single thing
each day’s a chance to sing aaaaah gaaah tehtehtehteh again,
and trade one more step for one more fall
i blinked
and you’re seven months old today
sooner than i know
you’ll be building lego men and breaking hearts
reading Palahniuk instead of picture books
and thanking me for all this love
and none of the cheese.
