My Baby Boy

The moment you arrived I knew the hour that brought you here. You my newborn 
child, was going to be loved til' the ends of earth. I was twenty-one years old and
the  sun was very new.  It barely creased our hearts so aware of each other 
were we that it danced around us post-haste without a single thought to time.
Inside my little capsule of love 
you were a well wrapped dove 
cooing for attention, thereof;  
They insisted on wheeling me out, rules they said. I was so high on life 
I could probably have flown out of there with two left wings.  
They pushed me out into the sun, where you and I both shared our 
first breath, beneath an altruistic sky that shared only love.
A baby boy was born to me 
he was all my eyes could see 
I'd love him until eternity;
Time is a stopwatch that can handle, never a day goes by that I don't hold
his heart in mine. Today as I recall our 1st day I smile.  I was blessed 
with an angel that day, one that I could proudly call my son.
