I want to stand still

In a moment where I'm able to touch

The face of the one I love

And nurture them, while my finger gently caresses and go over that little scar

They've had since they were five.

I want to stand still as I watch my mom

Smile for seeing me & my brothers and sisters achieve our goals.

As she gets a hobby, I pretend I don't like

But know very well that I try and memorize every swift of motion.

As she makes our favorite dish

& I cry a little thinking how to I stop in this very moment and stay here?
