AME’DEE’

Angel with sparkling blue eyes

Blonde hair

Fine as opulent silk

Gentle boy

So loving

Eager for affectionate interaction

His noble name

Tribute to Amadeus Mozart

It means “Dear God”

His glowing smile

Brightens the darkest room

He speaks to me in many ways

Tugging powerfully at my heart

I offer praise

For the gifts he brings

His stuffed Panda

Gently placed in my lap for approval

As he shares my glass of juice

Seventeen months of joyful existence

Copious curiosity

Fills his being with discovery

Overwhelming satisfaction

As I watch him sleeping peacefully

Gleeful celebration

When he awakens in sleepy morning reunion

And realizes I am still by his side

I can think of no finer compliment to a man

I love you little one

My soul sings for you
