You Smell Like Summer

As I snuggle up next to you and say prayers, I can’t help but notice, you smell like summer. That familiar smell of sunscreen. That outdoor smell. Your cheeks are lightly sun kissed. Too young to remember the events of the day for long. Exhausted from our day of fun. You want snuggles before you fall asleep, pretty much every night now. I know many say that I shouldn’t do it. It spoils you. But to be honest, I enjoy those nightly snuggles as much as you do. Maybe even more. For just a couple minutes every night I lay down next to you and you wrap your tiny little arms around me. The worries of the world disappear. You smile at me and close your eyes. The smile lingers on your face for a few seconds more. Sometimes, I lay there for only a few minutes. Then, I give you one more kiss and we say good night before I leave. But other nights, nights like tonight, I lay here and watch you as you drift off to sleep. Tonight, you smell like summer. A fresh reminder of the fun day
