To My Son

/ stefaniesankey

Your childish play has lighted
the corners of my mouth,
and filled my days
with endless pleasure.
Your impish grin
has touched my heart.
I feel your bumps and bruises
and the tears I’ve wiped away…
I see your face, asleep, angelic,
and the eyelash
which flutters to your cheek.
Your cheerful games
of hide-and-seek,
your giggles and glee.
How could such innocence
have passed so swiftly
before my starry eyes…
I am alone,
and yet not sad.
For I have love
that never dies.
