My Son

My tiny son...wrapped in sleep
And milk warm from my breast
Softly your hair caresses my cheek
As you lay so small and defenseless in my arms

Precious child!
Midnight blue your eyes seek mine
And rest on mine in steady gaze
Your mouth pursed in perfect contentment

I am still amazed that you are here
I smile down at you with a love
I thought was lost to me
I love you
