Psalm 1:14

#28daysoflovepoems by Kiara Lee

on life’s coldest days this little being teaches me about love and about warmth

the warmth from us both is visceral

it’s loving

we are one and we are becoming

it’s a beautiful thing

when it rains I like to watch her try to collect the raindrops with her little hands

one by one

drop by drop

even in the worst of storms

she shows me how to learn a lesson in the rain

she reminds me that life’s pain is never in vain

and when the wind blows

she laughs so hard

those giggles, innocent and sweet

they tell me that even when troubled waters come rolling in to sweep me off my feet

even at high tide

I can laugh while I ride

the waves meant to rock my boat

with hair curly and wooly like Jesus

with love so tender and omniscient like God

to think when it all began

I nearly lost my life

bringing in this new life

and in that wearied state

I begged God not to take me yet

and I told Him that me and my baby

we got things to do

the most precious thing I’ve ever known

she is my heart

she is art and

she is home

the prettiest thing I ever did see

I was made for her and she

she was made for me

far beyond the bible lives the most beautiful scripture I could ever read

she was born in the wee hours on January 14th

Everyday in February 2026, The House of Psalm will post an original poem about love — self-love, romantic love, parental love and so much more. #28daysoflovepoems | IG @thehouseofpsalm @kiaraleewrites
