Poetry: My son

I looked into your small, pink face

I felt an overwhelming happiness

The labor pains didn't matter anymore.

The length and coil of my pretty lace

Which you have made into a nest

Mattered not, as you faltered to the door.

The "Hi mom, I'm home" I would brace

myself , you're sixteen, at best

Just come home without a bloody gore.

"Kiss grandma" you said to little Grace

Your daughter, won't let me go, lest

I forget to recount, her much awaited lore.

You've brought sunshine rays

You're an angel and I'm blessed

to have you as a son I prayed for.

Son, now you've grown and I gaze

at your face, I m now ready to rest.

Remember, I love you forevermore.

    Love unbounded by Reason.
    Love more eternal than Seasons.
