My Darling Jon
MY DARLING JON
I look at you with joy,
just like when you were a little boy.
You made my birthday better,
the best birthday ever.
It started with a birthday kiss,
four minutes after midnight.
Hours later, you brought breakfast,
followed by lunch, although I was out.
I got back and ate lunch
and My! Oh! My!
a strawberry short cake.
Oh, what a feast!
.
It did not end there.
As I went out and partied in the night,
you gave the birthday card the next day.
To my total surprised!!!
It included an acrostic poem.
As I read it, I was overwhelmed
with happiness for your knack for words,
just like your Mom and here it is,
as you wrote it…….
Marvelous soul indeed
Awe-inspiring to others
Ravishing beauty with style
Imaginative, inventive, insightful
Loving to family and friends
Entertaining dancer and singer
Notable in gatherings
Encouraging the world with creative
empowering poetry
I am so proud of you son.
I may not always show you; but I am.
I am so awestricken how you see me
and I am so amazed by you and your poem.
Thank you. Thank you, Jonathan,
my darling Jon.
