I Love You More

Sitting in the sand, Toes in the water As the tide touches the land. She looks over her shoulder And I catch her, An unsuspecting click of a camera, An unforced smile, That’s karma For all the pictures she snapped on the way I smile, As she helps the kids scoop sand into a pile. She’s glowing as she laughs, She’s such a good mom, She does more than her half And does her best to stay calm. I sit here in awe, With her hair tucked behind her ear She has no flaws, Her skin is so sheer, As she scoops up our youngest And splashes me where I sit on the shore, If she has wings she’d soar, I can’t help but love her even more.
