Tears flowed down my cheeks <br />As I cradled you in my arms <br />Tiny fingers sqeezing mine <br />New joy grew deep and warm <br /> <br />Watching as you slept <br />A gift from God above <br />Never could I imagine <br />Feeling this all consuming love <br /> <br />Those sparkling big blue eyes <br />looking up at me <br />taking your fist steps <br />Climbing that first tree <br /> <br />That fist day of school <br />My brave little man <br />Walking down the sidewalk <br />Holding tightly to my hand <br /> <br />I held you oh so tight <br />hopeing childhood would last <br />through scraped knees and bruises <br />As you grew up so very fast <br /> <br />Rocking you so gently <br />As you cried that lonely night <br />Your fist taste of heartache <br />Drowning out the light <br /> <br />Ballgames and dances <br />Freinds fill your days <br />to soon it's graduation <br />And going your own way<br /><br />Debora Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-beautiful-son/
