The reason my heart beats

Poems I've written for the men in my life


My oldest son

Tears of joy when I knew you were alive inside me
Tears of pain when in childbirth
I didn't deserve for you to be a part of me
Left-handed and silly
Beautiful, receptive blue eyes
So kind
Thank you for who you are
You are my strength
Be strong always

My middle son

Inquisitive and smart
Pug-nosed and dimples like me
You have my laugh and same color eyes
Beautiful red/brown hair
Cuddler
Don't ever stop dreaming
Make your dreams a reality
Be strong always

My youngest son

Little mini-me, deep cleft chin
Blue, clear eyes
Sweet, infectious smile
There are not enough kisses for you
Flying like an airplane
Chasing a flashlight
Mamma's sweet gift

Never to know abuse
Ever thankful
