Dear little boy, <br />so deeply loved <br />and still <br />a stranger yet... <br /> <br />What mystery lies <br />behind those eyes so wild <br />that seek in vain <br />to still the wide world spinning? <br /> <br />What secrets hide <br />behind that tiny mind <br />that tries so hard to understand <br />the scary stuff that flies around inside? <br /> <br />I watch you now, <br />at rest upon my arm. <br />poised on the brink of becoming... <br /> <br />And long to see you jump.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/six-weeks-old/
