Beautiful boy…
Soft hair…
Eyelashes that frame
Enormous eyes that
Shift from
Hazel to Brown to Blue to
I don’t know…
Time is flying
And I want the
World
To
Stop…
Seven years ago,
In the thick of
The Great Grief,
I said
The very same thing…
But I wanted the
World
To
Stop
Because my heart was
Broken…
Time ticked away,
But I was at a
Standstill
And I wanted the carousel
To let me
Off…
Today,
I never want the ride
To
End…
Time ticks away,
And every day
I see new things.
Pudgy little hands
Paw my glasses…
Pudgy little legs
Stand strong and firm…
You bite my chin
With slobber and
Two
Tiny
Teeth
That took a lot of
Tears
To
Break
Through…
What breakthrough doesn’t come
With
Tears?
Everything about you
Is a
Parable…
I have loved like this before…
But it is still
Different…
I have had longer to love.
We have had longer to grow,
And I
Grow every day
More in love with you…
With your father…
With my Father…
Every day,
I am more
Grateful
For what was,
For what is,
And for what dreams
May come…
I am thankful for it all…
For the highs and lows,
The mountains and valleys,
And the deserts, lowlands, and plains
In between…
Today
Is a mountaintop…
Tomorrow—
What is tomorrow,
When today is so beautiful?
When today is full of
Cuddles and snuggles and coos and
Love
Like
I
Have
Never
Known?
This is deeper…
Higher…
Wider…
Longer…
This love has
Affected
Me
So…
Beautiful boy…
Son of mine,
May you understand
Where Love comes from,
May I show you the Love
He has given me;
May I teach you the Love
He bestows on us…
Time may be
Flying;
The world does not
Stop
For anyone…
Neither will my
Love
For
You…
