Poem
I had waited for you seemingly forever So long did it take before you were to come into my life But in so many ways you had always been there Your hair so white more than once people Said that you glowed Your eyes blue gray Soft but piercing. In the spring we’d plant flowers and you quite the digger Would never tire of ‘replanting’ oh the control God blessed Me with that summer On the porch we would swing and sing until my throat would be sore And still Id manage one more Lavender Blue, You Are My Sunshine, Red River Valley I can still hear the wee small voice In the summer under the big maple the front walk Would flood and we’d run back and forth barefooted and splashing Your face, pure joy, your eyes animated, your smile so wide And those cheeks I could tweak them right now Is there any better sound than giggles and splashes Autumn we would take long walks and picnics down in the woods And sit on a fallen tree. We’d find ants and worms and spiders and rescue the most Precious of treasures. Feathers, milkweed fuzz, acorns, so much Bounty for the taking. We’d bring them home and glue them On paper or cardboard or make touch books Winter oh please let’s have snow for winter. Snowmen And snow forts, snow balls and mmmm snow cream. I remember the look on your face at your first bite as If you had just made magic. We read books by the fire, books and more books Then you would touch my lips and ask me to Read one with my mouth, which meant to make Up one just for you. You have been blessed with intelligence You have an uncanny ability to fix things You’ve never seen before Your sense of humor can put me away Until I beg you to stop You have a sense of logic beyond your years You will sit on the floor for hours and build block towers for babies Most importantly my son You have been blessed for an unquenchable thirst for God’s own heart At eighteen our time together will be changing but sitting here I remember the words from a book we used to sing to each other “I’ll love you forever I’ll like you for always As long as I’m living My baby you’ll be" To Noah
