A Gift You Are - My Lovely Children

A Gift You Are Who would have thought I would be blind To eternal sunshine that’s mind The day you were born was the beginning My heart's petals bloomed most compelling Tears of joy I shed while I saw you smile In my arms I knew the pain was worthwhile Lullabies sung and hummed to bring comfort sleep As you lay in your crib without a peep Challenges as you grew with bumps and bruises with footfalls Sticky fingers, scattered toys, fancy artwork on the walls Meaningful memories as I look into your eyes Of the mischief you use to get into, but I was wise I'll always be here whenever you need me Stand by you, whoever you decide to be Eternal sunshine that was mine is still my total joy Don’t ever forget you will always be my little boy 2/9/2016 This is dedicated to my three wonderful sons that I cradled in my arms and wish I still was
