Another year has come
And gone
And I can’t believe I’m a parent soon
Not just of dogs and cats
But of a real child
And I can’t contain my excitement
It’s all so beautiful
I feel I’m in a beautiful dream
Not everything is perfect
But so much is working
I can’t believe how lucky
And blessings are flying down
From above like snowflakes
Thank you God for this beautiful mess.
Erika, Christmas 2022
