Heartbeat

I spent all day in bed.

I had two naps.

Penny curled up behind me

Contently watching cartoons

Andy snores softly in my arms

This time is heaven.

Priceless.

Soon he will be alert

Soon she will be off to school.

Too soon I will have no reason

To just be in bed

Unless I have the flu

And who wants that!

I remember putting Ellie and Lucy to bed

I remember thinking that they needed their bed

They would fall asleep to the lullabies their crib music boxes played

with penny and Andy they slept/sleep with me.

They were/are curled up beside me

Wrapped in my arms

And fell/fall asleep to the sound of my heartbeat.
