It Doesn't Get Better Than This
I remember the days
we’d stay on the phone all night
We’d fall asleep on the call,
just so we could wake up together the next day.
I used to think
“It can’t get better than this”
---
I lie here,
held in your arms
the safest place I could ever be
The colder the night
The closer you hold me
I think to myself:
It really can’t get better than this
---
9 months of waiting
We held our son for the first time
Really, It can’t get better than this…
---
Sitting on the porch
drinking coffee
as we watch our boy play...
It doesn’t get better than this.
---
Maybe when we’re old
and grey,
I’ll think it for the last time...
but for now,
It doesn’t get better than this…

It Doesn't Get Better Than This
Hello, Kristen,
This is a wonderful poem conveying the gratitude of living in the present and being mindful of all good things. Having lived through several of these stages of life, I would agree - it doesn't get better than this.
Thank you!
