a very short poem.

 

BOY
 
Legs drawn up
so deeply asleep.
Teddy and precious crocodile
close by, it touches me.
Eyelids tight sealed
lips parted. So still,
head on your arm, a flutter
of gentle breath.
I sit on your bed, observing.
You will never be this young again
And I?
I will always be old to you, my child

Indeed a touching moment. These little observations are like keepsakes that we keep the rest of our lives. Well done, Fabian.

Hi Fabian
I'm only saying what you already know - make the most of him while you can. They grow up far too quickly!!! Be well, Liz

This is nice, Fabian. But you know, eventually the day arrives when
the son is convince he's older than the father. -gene.
