When You Were Little

I am drawn into your world with a sweet little laugh
As you skip ahead of me then spin into a dance
And run back to my side with your arms open wide
I am drawn into your sweet little devilish glance

I am drawn to your bed with your sweet little sigh
Please read me one more story you softly cajole
As I tuck you to bed with your favorite sweetie close by
Then I am drawn to comply with your sweet little kiss 

Each day I am drawn to your orbit with sweet smiles
To see you blossom and grow ever more bright
You are a world full of buzzing effervescent unknown
I find the sweetest of pleasure living in your sweet light

Your lines expectedly weigh in tonnes and your consistency has made you a master of masters in this act. This is beyond compliments. Good work mate. An absolute beauty.

As I read this I remembered my 4 year old grandson calls me his SWEET heart, and I started to miss him so much! Thank you for such a sweet poem.

How delightful this is, Jeanne! I am sure many of us can relate to the images you project. Children can be a handful, but we'd be lost without them! ~ Regards // paul
