He is full of courage
And has a very giving heart
He knows when his hugs are needed
The living room is his dance floor
And he welcomes visitors
Be careful what you say around him
It will surely be repeated
He listens and records every detail
In his brilliant mind
He is precocious and his laughter
Will illuminate a room
He will burst out
With a spontaneous
"I love you!"
Filled with sincerity
At least twice a day
At night I am expected
To cuddle him to sleep
He moves his icy feet
Up and down my legs
To calm himself
"Mom I have Winter feet
& you have Summer legs."
He says matter-of-factly
It's always a struggle
To still his busy mind
I listen intently
While he recalls his day
Eventually his feet will stop
And his eye lids will grow heavy
There is a Peace that washes over him
And I am often carried away with it~
