I have one of those daughters

 I have one of those daughters

the kind that doesn’t sit still
the kind that turns everything into an adventure

the couch?
a jungle gym

the living room?
her race track

and if it’s quiet for too long…
i already know she’s into something she shouldn’t be

she’s always moving
always curious
always figuring out how far she can go

and some days i’m tired
trying to keep up with all that energy

but then she runs back to me
like i’m her safe place
like i’m home

and it hits me…

one day
the house will stay clean
the couch cushions will stay in place

and i won’t hear her little feet
running from room to room

so for now
i’ll take the chaos
the mess
the “what are you doing?” every five minutes

because this loud
wild
busy kind of love

is something i know
i’ll miss one day
