Dear Son

I will never forget the second I saw you
freshly born
eyes wide
taking everything in - even then

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine you so perfect
so contented
so at ease with me

Never did I dream I would be able to take care of you
watch you sleep
listen to you breathing

Never did my life have more meaning, I wake in excitment
yet I have no career
I have no money and no job

Never have I laughed and cried as much as I do now
so emotional
so moving

Never have I devoted my time so selflessly
always tired
yet still remain patient (with you)

Never have I loved your father more
although we are rarely alone
or intimate

Never did I believe something could change my life so much
change my perspective
change my friendships

Never have I loved another as much as I love you sweetheart
I thank god for you
I adore you.
