Gone Fast
Finally here!
Life had begun nine months before,
when a miracle took place in the womb.
No details, just one sperm fertilizing one egg.
Now to finally see light.
Big eyes staring at me.
Him wondering! Me wondering!
What are first thoughts?
Who can say but God?
Here, you hold him!
But he's awfully small.
So cute and almost bald.
So many wild roller coaster rides.
Who would have ever thought
that he would be the Greek God that he is today?
So chisled and fine.
Any model would be jealous.
College!
After that what??
Life's like that!
Did that happen yesterday?
Or has it really been twenty years?
