I watch over you, your sleep restful at last, your deep and easy breathing telling me that the worst is now past.
Today, I can begin to step back, no longer required to keep constant vigil.
Neglected responsibilities begin to drift into the focus of my mind's eye. Quietly, one by one, I acknowledge them... arranging them into an orderly row. Their time will come, though not just yet.
I am distracted by the return of your smile. Not enfeebled by medicines or pain, but the kind that lights you up from within. And with it comes your voice, happily recalling favourite playthings.
Today is a start, for although you are brave, a mother sees... you resting your head in fatigue after creeping two steps. Your spirit is willing, but your body... still so weak. A cough racks your body. My work is not yet done.
But I still hold in gratitude... Today.
