A Bundle of Joy.

You hold him in your arms. He's sound asleep. His eyes closed, his dreams a blur of vibrant colors dancing behind his eyelids. His fingers, tiny and minuscule are wrapped around your thumb. As he yawns, his whole body, barely the size of your hand, contracts. You can hear the slight fluttering of his heart. And in that moment, everything stops. Nothing matters but that marvelous existence in your hands. He is the most beautiful thing in the world. That delicate little bundle of Joy...
You take him in. Every little feature. Every little trait. The way he fits perfectly into your arms...like puzzle pieces coming together. And all at once you can see it. See the future..HIS future. The first time he walks...The first time he talks...his first song, his first guitar lesson, his first recital, his first soccer game, his first crush, his ambitions, his desires. He looks up to you. Runs to you in his darkest hour. Protects you. Covers for you. Just like you would look out for him. He's your little brother and You would do anything to see him happy. You watch him fall in love. Watch, as a girl dances her way into his life. Mesmerized by the man he's grown to be. The man he is outside as well as within. She gives him her heart and he becomes a part of her. He promises to take care of her. Always. Sure. You do feel those slight pangs of jealousy, considering the attention is being shifted but you've never seen him this happy. And that's all you want. For him to be happy. And she does just that. She makes him happy.
Looking at that little baby, all of these images flash through your head. Like a kaleidoscope of what the future can hold. And you realize you can't wait for all these moments in his life, but at the same time you don't want them to approach for fear they might end too soon. You don't want this little bundle of joy to grow up. You want him to stay the same. To fit flawlessly into your arms forever. To never let go of those tiny hands. This little bundle of joy, is the best thing in your life right now. You marvel at the fact that God could create such a magnificent manifestation of himself. This boy is perfect in every way.... beautiful beyond description. And one day this little bundle of Joy will grow up and be what he was meant to be. But no matter what, he will always mean the world to you. He will forever be your little brother. And you would do anything for him.
