Oyayi

You didn't have to be a belter to sing a good tune. 

You may need to be spontaneous in coming up with a tune to sing, 

but hitting the notes really is not a requirement. 

Any hum will do. He'll love it.

You didn't have to be a good dancer. 

But you may need to have strong and enduring arms to carry him as long as he wants.

All that matters is love. Unconditional love. 

When he still would cry, or be unruly

it's his way of telling you, "please be here. don't leave me."

It's his way of telling you, he needs your time. 

He wants you by his side.

So be there. Just be there. Carry him in your arms. 

No matter how tired you are.

Love. Just love.

After all, the sweetest reward is to watch him sleeping soundly. 

Then in the middle of his deep slumber, he would give a sweet smile to tell you, 

"thanks for being here. let's play again later, ha."
