thirty years ago searching for those memories of raising children diapering a wiggly body that somehow slides away negotiating the shirt over the head pant legs one at a time socks on those tiny sweet feet shoving a kicking body into a backward facing car seat enthusiastically singing every childhood song never getting the words right running, climbing, sliding pushing a swing feels like hours sore back and arms lifting the weight of a toddler up and down up and down needing that afternoon nap as much a nineteen-month-old thirty years ago searching for those memories feelings hard to remember of a little warm body resting against yours sharing a story book hearing words said for the first time Today, right now no longer the parent yet feeling important trusted loved there is nothing like it in this whole wide world
