Kim Merryman Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Written 11/17/22 in honor of my grandson, Jaxon

Hey, Little Man

Hey little man, what do you say?
You're looking mighty fine today!
Your baby blues are so big and bright,
Your charming dimples are a delight!

Hey little man, your pictures tease -
Just want to give those cheeks a squeeze!
And who can resist your baby speak -
Your squeals and coos, a little squeak?

Hey little man, your winsome smiles,
Make me want to cross the miles,
So I can see you face to face,
And hold you close in warm embrace.

Hey little man, you have captured my heart,
It's been in your hands right from the start.
And though I'm not with you everyday,
Know you are loved in every way!

Paula Goldsmith August 9, 2023 at 2:20 PM A lovely write. Have you printed this off/famed it and sent it to him??? If no, then it would make a great Christmas gift. Make sure you sign it. Have a great day............. Kim Merryman August 10, 2023 at 4:40 PM Hi, Paula! No I haven't done that yet. I'm thinking of putting together a book of all the poems I write about him and present it to him when he's older. I may have to frame a copy, though. That's a good idea! Thank you!
