36 – Wired Into Enamored By Fixated On

1/13/22

The thing that I care about

more than almost any other thing

is a heart

that is built upon

wired into

enamored by

fixated on

blind to anything other than

gratitude.

They say that it’s a muscle,

that you have to work it out,

that it’ll grow stronger over time

so let’s do some resistance training.

Not a single one of my days

would be the same without

EmmyMorganAllyChris

and the small paws on my chest each morning.

I wouldn’t be the same

without words to wade in

to sort through,

and I would still feel unwelcome

in my own body without

movement that connects me to her.

Familiarity that comes with time,

naps under a quilt,

voice memos,

learning more about his heart…

I could go on and on

and on,

and I will go on and on

because I’m believing hoping declaring

that not a moment of my life will

make way for thanklessness.

That one thing,

the thing that I care about more than almost any other,

will claim me as its own

as my heart becomes more like his.

Lightly,
Leah
