Alesia Leach Poet Couplet

For My Little Boy

For my little boy,
who brings me so much pride and joy.

He captured my heart,
but truthfully--he had it from the start.

It’s really quite simple--
his smile… and that dimple.

I’ll be sad when he starts to grow,
but there’s one thing I’ll always know:

He will forever be mine,
our hearts forever entwined.

You might like "Beautiful Baby Boy", "Impossible", "Death Not My Child", do you have more baby boy poems I could read? This is most special. Let's just ignore the fact this is 11 yrs old.
