It’s late, and it grows later as I bounce my 1 year old to sleep in her bouncer. My arm draped over the arm of the couch to gently push her chair up and down.

A glimpse of heaven
A glimpse of heaven I’ve seen In the eyes of my children a gleam A glimpse of heaven There it was Where love was the cause A glimpse of heaven in dream The most beautiful stars have ever been A glimpse of heaven within a touch I’m afraid now, that may be too much.
