Whirlwind Life

I went from school to a job, to a wife,
to instant parenthood—blink, this is my life.
The world spun faster than I could stand,
thrust into the deep without a plan.

From lockers and hallways to office halls,
to wedding vows and midnight baby calls.
I’m standing here now, with bated breath,
staring at your nipples, a symbol of life and death.

How did we get here, so quickly, so fast?
From first kisses to cribs—life moves past.
Your body a miracle, a beacon of growth,
I watch in silence, in awe of us both.

From the boy I was to the man I became,
there’s no slowing down in this grown-up game.
I’m lost, I’m found, I’m holding on tight,
to this instant family that bloomed overnight.

Your nipples, a sign of the new we’ve begun,
feeding our future, our daughter, our son.
A life that we built in the blink of an eye,
standing together as the years pass by.

But still, I catch my breath and wonder how,
from schoolyard dreams to the here and now,
I found myself here, in a whirlwind life,
a job, a parent, a husband, your wife.
