--A simple poem from your mommy
Five years ago I received the most wonderful gift of my son being born into the world. He was delivered via C-section after 36 hours of labor. I thought that was something. But the further I get from the date of his birth, the more unimpressive those hours seem. The real labor was only beginning. The labor from the Lord is sweet, however, even if a bit painful at times.
Brown-eyed boy can I see you smile?
Your grin fills my heart with pleasure.
Brown-eyed boy don't be sad,
Don't you know you are a treasure?
They put you in my arms five short years ago,
Though my body still did shake.
Brown-eyed boy mommy held you tight,
Never to stop loving or forsake.
Big and strong you have always been,
There is no denying what is clear.
Brown-eyed boy I see your heart,
The soft and keen, and the fears.
Words may not always come easy,
People you may not understand.
Brown-eyed boy don't ever let that stop you,
God is still holding your hand.
Sociable and warm, you are a gift to others,
Differences are not your concern.
Brown-eyed boy who is sometimes lonely,
You will receive that for which you yearn.
Now my son lay your head on my chest,
We will pray for these things together.
Brown-eyed boy God will hear our words,
His strength every day can weather.
