endless delights

a profile of cheeks and lashes...


an existence that touches new depths of my heart, my soul...


skin softer than any i've ever felt...


innocence that astounds me...


new abilities that fascinate me...


cornflower eyes that shimmer in sunlight...


a fascination with trees and doggies...


arms that reach for me when she is happy...hurting...weary...needing...


strawberry wisps that blow in the breeze...


endless possibilities with a set of clanky metal measuring spoons...


cottonball-esque booties on chubby toes...


pink warmth when she wakes...


a ball of gathered yarn placed perfectly in the center of her round head when her knit sweater hood is on...


a smile that unburdens my mind...


wriggles and giggles of complete abandon in the bathtub...


perfect conformity to my arms, my heart, my life...


a single touch and i am stirred to new levels of awareness, compassion, felicity, and GRATITUDE...


these delights and many more make up our susannah joy
