Eve Roper Poet Couplet

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

This is dedicated to my three wonderful sons that I cradled in my arms and wish I still was
