Out of the mouths of babes echoes “Car! Car!” and points he the bended finger waving. In my close held orbit his rising star shines in playful hugs and smooches craving! Wise an old head on little shoulders sit, Oh, that likeness of face, that heart of song, the torch of wonder in a child’s mind lit - I see it all and know that you belong. That first smile, first kiss, first coos outgrowing did all my past attentions rearrange - we are now that bond which comes from knowing how you were begotten and I was changed. My darling boy two years a gentle soul know that I your praises sing to the world. Written: March 2002
