GORGEOUS

 

The tiniest boy,

With inky black hair,

And sea-blue eyes,

The nurses swooned.

 

Your golden skin,

That gorgeous smile,

Your little tummy,

Those perfect toes.

 

Montessori,

Still so small.

Mama don’t you leave me,

Please don’t go.

 

Bedtime stories in your bed.

Quack song, Your Song, Alouette.

Silly lyrics, giggles in the dark,

One more, Mama, one more song.

 

Cuddles, kisses,

Tantrums too.

Hot wheels, Lego,

Tots TV.

 

Dressed as Zorro,

Halloween,

The prince of Caribana,

Your first school dance.

 

Skiing lessons,

Football team,

Video wizard,

Skateboard dreams.

 

My gorgeous Snooba,

Grown-up now.

Kind, clever, generous,

I love you.
