sometimes i step back and watch you
and try so hard to tell my soul to remember this very moment
this silly dance you do in front of the tv
the way you look at me when you've snuck something out of the treat cupboard
the way you raise your voice an octave when you talk to your sister

you and holly are my treasures.
before you i was on a hunt for purpose
and now i have it abundantly
to love
and love
and love you up.

I agree completely! :) I thought my life was full and happy before Owen - I could never have fathomed how much purpose loving him would give me.
