When the world is puddle wonderful...

 This. 

Is all that matters in life. 

And one day I hope that both I and my son can always feel the joy that this photo gives me. I love these little people so much. And moments, just like this, steal my heart away and make me feel like crying and jumping for joy, and just cuddling my children and keeping them forever with me, and yet, helping them learn and letting them go into the world to give the world what they are, all at the same time. 

Love, it's such a crazy thing. It's impossible to ever fathom the love of a parent before you are one. It's impossible to realize how emotions can mix together: happiness, adoration, frustration, anger, exhaustion, pride, into a slew of mud. And then those children, that cause all those emotions, play and jump in that mud and have the time of their lives. And that, is what being a parent is.

spring          when the world is mud-

lame balloonman

whistles          far          and wee

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer

old balloonman whistles

far          and             wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's

spring

and

         the

                  goat-footed

balloonMan          whistles

far

and
