Laura Leiser Poet Free verse

Zephyr

My arms are filled with pure contentment 
my heart is knit to this precious bundle of love
my fingers slowly caress his fair, soft cheeks 
my eyes look deeply into his innocent blue eyes. 

From the moment I beheld him, I was smitten 
he is still yet a tiny bud upon the flower of life
I pray I will see this little one bloom to maturity 
to see him thrive within the loving soil of his family. 

His essence, his sweetness, resonates within my soul
God has truly gifted me with a beautiful grandson 
I am beyond blessed and will pray each and every day
that little Zephyr will come to know God in every way.
