To me
You are a wonder
A marvelous work of art
Sprung from some other world
You’ve always stood apart.
To me
The sun, it rises
And sets upon dewy cheeks
The ones that frame your soulful face
And dimple as you speak.
To me
You are the moon and stars and twilight wrapped in one
And every eve before my day is finished up and done
I thank the heavens and the earth and goodness in between
For giving me someone so perfect, wholly sight unseen.
For since the day that you arrived, so eager to be free
You’ve held my heart within your hands with love so easily
And now that you are on the verge of turning number 10
I’ll cradle you in mama’s arms just like I did back then.
