Love Like Time Is Listening
Two printable poetry keepsakes for the moments you wish you could keep.
There is a particular kind of heartbreak in loving someone who is growing up right in front of you.
You learn the shape of their hands. The sound of their breathing when sleep finally wins. The way they fit against you tonight, knowing that tomorrow they will be just a little different.
And still, you keep trying to hold on.
Love Them Like Time Is Listening is a poem about that impossible little bargain we make with time. About loving our children so fiercely that, every once in a while, we almost believe we can persuade a moment to stay.
I created this set of two coordinating poetry prints to give those words somewhere to live.
On the walls of the home where childhood is happening. Beside the bed where you hold them a minute longer. Somewhere you can look up and remember what these years felt like.
Because although we cannot make childhood stay, we can keep a little of it with us.
