"My Child"

He is my child,
a tender hearted soul

Wisdom in his smile
that came to me whole

I for a while watch the sunlight catch his stare -
moon eyes flitter without a care

with dancing dust fairies all around
suspended by his breath's royal crown

Suddenly they amass in a magical crescendo
flickering and twinkling with each little giggle

I am spellbound by the folly of this muse
my angelic sweetness that reminds me of my own truth

It is about moments as these
that I cherish the child that is too in me.
