Your cries brought alarm for us. <br /> We did everything that needed to be done, guess you just wanted to fuss. <br /> You continued to wear us out. <br /> As you proceeded to fuss about. <br /> We didn’t know what else to do. <br /> So we started to play with you. <br />It brought a smile, it brought a laugh. <br />Thank God, we smiled at each other in relief. <br />But then you started to cry again and we stared at each other <br />in disbelief. <br />Oh great, we thought here we go again. <br />But then you broke out in the cutest grin. <br />Soon we found out what you were grinning about. <br />We guessed even in your eyes we were a family. <br />A tear fell from both of our cheeks. <br />As our love grew stronger for our perfect little Joseph, whose diaper reeked!<br /><br />Rebecca Moors<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dedicated-to-my-son-joseph/
