For Makai
Little child, I love you so
I hope you always remember
the way we once smiled
together, when you’re grown
Little child, just one more hug
before you get too big
for me and all my kisses
a big man on your own
Little child, play with me
with cars and drums and games
let’s pretend you’re a dog again
and I’ll pick you out as my pet
Oh, my boy, my favorite boy,
There was so much pain before you came
so much darkness and sorrow then
where now there is only your light
Oh, my boy, my favorite boy,
I’ll always be here just for you
If things get tough when you grow up
remember the times we were two
