Jan Allison Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Many thanks to a special person for helping me with the meter in my poem

Contest:In the name of love
Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton

Baby Love

Those sapphire eyes and kissable cute cheeks -
I held you and I knew I was in love.
The moment I'd been dreaming of for weeks
was perfect, and it came from God above!

Home from the hospital, how our life changed!
Though challenging at first, it was worthwhile
to have our sleeping patterns rearranged.
What precious memory was your first smile!

And now you've grown. We're many miles apart.
How wonderful you are, my darling boy!
Do not forget you're always in my heart.
My precious son, you are my pride and joy.

The loving feelings that I have for you
will stay with me, dear son, my whole life through.
