Time

I feel as though time is flying past me: I am powerless to stop it and infuriated that I am unable to even pause for a moment. I want to keep her here, beside me cuddled warmly next to my body as she sleeps. I hate to even lay her in a crib because that is time away from me and too soon they will take her from me. Too soon I will not be able to feel her soft body. Too soon plaster will come between us. Too soon she will hurt and I will be unable to comfort her. I want to trade places. I want to consume all her pain.
I ache. I want time to stop- to give me more bath tines and simple nursing and cuddles.
I am thankful I have this moment- this time right now.
