comfort

we're spending our last weeks [days?] all snuggled together

in the white rocker of the babies' room.

grabbing at my necklace,

she fills her belly.

comforts her soul.

and my soul, too.

knowing we've had this precious time.

this time despite 2 trips to a different continent.

despite a separation for her sister's hospital stay.

we've had this time for just the two of us.

time alone

in what is sometimes a 

loud, busy household.

[and always an uncertain, busy outside world.]

we've had this time.

to comfort.

each other.
