Mommys Little Thief

Mommy’s little boy
By Dalene Deale-Rowe

Five years ago today
I’m a little ashamed to say
I wasn’t in the greatest 
of an emotional place
Or as excited as I should have been
To see your beautiful face

I couldn’t have anticipated 
The mixed feelings and fears
And the complete culmination 
Of events that spanned over years

It was harder than expected 
For the first couple of months
But it started to change 
And then it was gone, 
All at once

I remember it clearly
The day we fell in love
It was Christmas day you know
When I realized 
You were a pure blessing from above

Those big beautiful brown eyes
And that cheeky little smile
It was worth every moment 
Even though it took me a while

Now I revel in your love 
Every chance I get
And I thank the Lord
For this Angel that five years ago I met

And I soak up every  moment
When my favorite words you say
“Mommy, You know I love you
It makes me appreciate every single day 

Thank you for being 
The little heart thief that you are
I pray the Lord will bless you
I that you will always be my bright eyed star
