When I Watch

 

Watching Brian waiting patiently for Dakota to make a bracelet, I thought of how sweet they are together and how much love they have for one another.

 

 

When I watch my oldest son

With his little daughter,

Reading her books,

Or patiently braiding her hair,

Or waiting while she chooses, and changes her mind,

and chooses, and changes her mind about

What she will wear,

And when I watch him bathing her,

Or kissing a bump on her forehead to make it better,

Or tenderly tucking her into bed at night,

I know that, though I did a lot of things wrong,

I must have done a few things right.
