Proud Mommy

Let me paint a picture descriptively
going on ten he's only three
ever so smart as can be
with an enormous vocabulary
mastermind of colors, numbers, and ABC's
Harvard, Yale, or Stanford University
a bachelors or masters degree 
a bright future I foresee
runs like a flash of lightening
a grand finale of fireworks of energy
mentally challenging 
exhausting me physically
yin and yang personality
on the cusp of gemini and cancer, diversity
brilliant ear for musicality
memorizes songs effortlessly
carrying and holding a tune in every key
happily he love's to sing
smiling, friendly, cuddly
at time even naughty
sense of humor ingeniously witty
lives fearlessly
a bundle of purity
Loved and loves unconditionally
blessed spiritually
tremendously I'm a proud Mommy
