As I come into his room
To wake him in the morning
My arms surround him like the soft blanket that he was wrapped in as a baby.
He runs around the house
Singing, dancing
Pretending
I wonder if he knows
That his hazel eyes
and bright smile
Make my morning every day
And prep me for go time
His jokes that leave me laughing and linger in my mind
Will make me smile in science class
And the love that he has given
Will always be there, flying in me like a bird of peace
An island of paradise
A place of happiness
where I can belong forever
