Two years old.

My little light

You shine so bright in the darkest night

the joy you give radiates from above

as He has given the greatest of gifts

and blessed me with your pure love.

An innocent smile

springs forth from cheek to cheek 

while curious eyes seek to discover

all that flies above and crawls down below

you will leave no hidden rock uncovered.

My growing boy

with whom I can barely keep pace

I love to  remember your first two years

of firsts steps, foods, falls, words, and smiles

and welcome your boyhood with fond tears

Two years old

my baby has become a young boy

I love you, my son, don't ever forget it

there's more to explore and fun to be had

The journey continues and I won't miss a minute
