A Father's Love For, Son's Great Gift

A Father's Love For, Son's Great Gift The wonder of childhood still resides in this father's heart watching my beautiful son while praying we never grow apart His tendency to laugh gloriously as he wins any video game his great love as he calls out so gayly my simple name A great celebration of the gifts of life he now teaches me sits deep in this heart and forever, forever it will be A love precious time surely will bless abundantly as it grows joys and tribulations as he keeps mother and I on our tippy toes Joyously still hear the patter of his early morning racing feet as to our bedroom he runs asking for those special weekend treats Life will yield ever more of these glorious and loving times as I record each adoringly in heartfelt and loving little rhymes Robert L. 05-07-2014 Inspired tonight as my son begged to stay up longer to sit in my lap! Such a charmer he slays me into submission..
