That Special Way

You held like you always have. That special way. Only you can hold me that way. That way. And the way you looked at me. The way you look at me. It brought tears to my eyes. Not your everyday tears. They weren't these salty, stinging drops. They were like liquid glass, making my world clearer, brighter. That is how you make my world. And as you spun me around and I smiled behind and in front of my tears, so did you. You smiled and laughed and cried and when all was said and done, you held me in that special way. That special way that a mommy hugs her baby.
