Little Landon

For my little boy

Wild eyes, damp forehead
one chase then broken
my vase - not your limbs.

Wheels flash, height, open, 
one blink - you have taken
a plunge in the pool.

Legs scabby, undaunted
galloping, stomping
our dog is your horse. 

Heros, villains,  world's conquered
exploring,  advancing
you're the king of your land.

Hands sticky with wonder
jumping over the oceans
you pause just to tell me - I am still your 
queen.

Thank you Pandita. My little boy is 6 and the apple of my eye. I wanted to express how full of energy, imagination and wonder he and his life is. As moms we get to witness our babies turn into these awesome and unique individuals.

I love this poem - it reminds me of my own two boys who are now quite grown but the fond memories of times like these are so much with me. Thanks for sharing!
