Happy Birthday, My Wife

Our first child.
I remember his birth.
How I felt inside...
like a million pieces of new gum all put into my mouth
at once.
So many flavors of emotion and so full,
that I couldn't say much worth understanding.
But you.
you knew.
Our second child.
I remember her birth.
How I felt inside...
like taste testing 15 different chilies
within minutes.
So hard to choose my favorite taste of emotion,
and wishing I had a full bowl of each.
But you,
you knew.
Our third child.
I remember her birth.
How I felt inside...
Like a thousand new brilliant business ideas inside my head,
at once.
So amazingly exciting and overwhelming,
and not sure what to do with it all.
But you,
you knew.
Our fourth child.
On the way.
How I feel inside...
like all my deepest dreams,
coming true.
So full of meaning and promise
and yet not sure of their meaning
but you,
you know.
