Two Weeks Before Halloween

A cool fall breeze flows gently through the windows
Sounds of rain on the window pane
And leaves rusting on the ground outside
The light scent of wet concrete stirring in the air
Mixing with cinnamon from our festive autumn broom
Orange glow from our pumpkin string lights hanging above us
Soft sunlight peeking through the clouds and into our home
Sharing our beige fluffy blanket
Keeping warm and cozy
Your weight on my lap and in my arms
Your small hand resting gently on me
You have outgrown the space on just my chest
Tiny toes, dusty from your morning of play
Sticking out from the blanket, just the way you like them
Shallow, soft breaths and little snores as you sleep deeply and nurse
Golden blonde curls
Rosy ears and cheeks
Long brown eyelashes
My boy, here safe in my arms
My greatest blessing
This is all I've ever wanted
