My Boy!

These four walls are closing in as i sleep alone.
Then you bounce upon me and wake me from my dreams. 
I stare at your face with love and pride,
realisation of what i have, fills my heart with joy. 
My baby, my boy, my life, my son 
stares at me, seeking answers to his questions. 
What do I tell him? 
When he asks where Lilliana has gone? 
Tears come to my eyes, as hurt floods my heart. 
I rustle up an answer, a mask of what is true. 
But all I need to tell him is, 
I really do love you!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
