when your heart beats faster
as he approaches
you
smiling at you
with that look of acceptance
on his face
he knows how crazy
you can get when things don't
go your way
how sad you feel
when it rains
he holds your heart
in the palm of his hands
when you can see how much
he looks like you
his mannerisms
favor
the two people that
need him the most
to
get through life
making you smile
making you laugh
realizing when you need a hug
after a
long, hard day
when he gets sick
you feel like dying
taking care of him
better than you take care
of yourself
your world shuts down
when
he cries
when he is sad
when he feels down
wanting to hold him forever
never letting him go
love is when the love of your life
is your baby
your offspring
your child
and
whatever you may call him
you never know
love
until he is born...
