You’re the prettiest little boy
I’ve seen in a long time
with your charming little smile
and finely etched dimples.
Your huge brown eyes
that can change instantly
from sparkling to watery
make me remember
how beautiful life can be.
Your sharp tongue and extended vocabulary
make me laugh,
and your tiny little weightless body
that you drape over me
when you want affection,
makes me warm.
Even though I can’t show it,
I love you more than my life itself.
You’re so beautiful,
and so loved,
and even when you spill
red Gatorade on the white carpet,
it’s hard to stay mad at you for very long.
So just remember that
no matter what,
you’ll always be my German baby.
