My Son's Eyes

My sons eyes

Hold all the stars

In all the skies

And in his tiny hands

He holds the future.

 

And though I don't know what

Tomorrow will hold,

When he's so young

And I feel so old,

 

I pray to God

And I pray to Fate

That he won't have

To suffer,

To find his place.

 

Little Jack,

Asleep on my chest,

The one I love the best,

 

He stirs,

And in his sleep

He sighs,

I bend my head

And kiss his eyes.

 

We do our best

In this busy place

To have a happy home,

But as I watch his sleeping face,

I'm thankful for

This moment with him, alone.

wrote this not long after my son Jack was born. I hope one day he reads it
