What is one pound?
I thought I knew everything there was to know about a pound. These are things I have known for years.
One pound is a measurement of weight, equivilant to 16 ounces, or 453 grams.
Things that I have always associated a pound with:
A pound of butter
A pound of coffee
A pound of sugar
A pound of deli meat
A pound of bacon
A pound too much gained during the Holidays
Since Trevor has been born I have learned so much more about just 1 pound.
It will bring you to your knees in a split second.
It can terrify you.
Never again will you take even a single breath for granted.
It can transform your entire world.
It will change your outlook on life.
It can keep you awake for days on end, listenting for a phone call.
It can make you drive 2 hours one way, only if you can see it and touch it for 5 minutes.
It will make you believe in miracles.
It can bring back the faith that you thought you had lost.
One pound can cry, and make you cry with it.
One pound can have ten fingers, ten toes, a cute button nose and the face of a tiny angel.
You can love one pound more than anything on this Earth.
One pound can melt your heart completely.
I never knew that one pound could do so much. At only 3 weeks old, my son has taught me more about one pound than I have learned in a lifetime. I just want everyone to remember: The simple things in life that we take for granted on a daily basis could be detrimental to another. One breath, one step, one word....or one pound. Melody 11/10/09
