Sugar Cane

innocent eyes look up to mine,

chubby little arms wrap around my neck and you whisper goodnight,

a kiss on the cheek,

the grace of your sweet breath,

the  innocence in your voice,

your heart beating next to mine.....

and it is then the nightmares of yesterday escape  me and I remember why I want to live...

It is you , I wake up for, It is you I die for, It is you I pretend there are no monsters for... 

you are the alphabet in my soup on the rainy days... and the rainbow colors on the grayest 
page....

You are my love, Darling.... I love you my son.... Austin.... 9-14-08
