this small child
July 31 2012
when i first met him he was tiny
just the littlest angel i knew
his skin was soft and shiny
his head of hair was so few
as day by day passed on by
i saw him a little more and more
i held him and said hi
i watched him on the floor
as each day comes and goes
theres more and more to learn
this small child shows
but more then learning, theres so much to earn
watching this child grow
hes warmed my heart beyond words can say
hes added to my life, a simple little glow
this little boy is placed in my arms
by a friend whose friendship shows
this little boy helps keep me away from harm
for deep down inside i know
i would not leave him ever
would not disappear
i will always be here forever
i will always make that clear.
