Someday

Someday, I’ll watch an entire movie in one sitting without worry that you’ll wake up.
But for now, I’ll watch you swing the plastic bat at the rocks in the driveway while you say, “Strong!”
Someday, I’ll sleep in until lunch, wasting the day away.
But for now, I’ll nuzzle your neck before the sun comes up.
Someday, this house will be clean, orderly, and neat.
But for now, we’ll keep smooshing play-doh on the table to make the planets.
Someday, I’ll be on stage — singing, acting, dancing — like before you were born.
But for now, I’ll sit here and watch Rolie Polie Olie – again – just because you love it.
Someday, your father and I will lounge on a secluded beach soaking in the rays and sipping cold drinks.
But for now, we’ll get too pink on our noses pushing you on the swing just to hear you say, “Higher! Higher!”
Someday, I’ll listen to the silence of the house while you and your siblings are away at school.
But for now, I’ll listen to the ABC song one more time because of the way you say, “el-em-en-oh-pee.”
Someday, I’ll wave as you leave for your first day of college.
But for now, I’ll chuckle while you wave the little flag on our walk home from the post office.
Someday, I’ll grin as you hold your wife’s hand and walk away from me.
But for now, I’ll hold your hand just a little longer while we rock and sing.
