There is no rush

I know we say we cannot wait,
but take your time, there is no rush;
too soon you’ll bloom, outgrow your room,
and leave our home with hollow hush.

Of course we’re excited for the moments,
but they’ll end as fast as they begin,
so let’s savor what we can never again:
watching you grow even now from within.

I know we say we cannot wait,
but take your time.
There is no rush.
