For My Son

My little love.

My great joy.

My boy.

My little man.

 

How special it is to adore you

to hold you

to see you

run, jump, laugh, giggle, twist and turn

hide and seek, play

in all the ways that you do.

 

So moving

to be with you, to be your dad

like a wave, growing, far out at sea, in the deepest canyons of my soul

rolling in and embracing me with my love for you

filling every crevice of my waking senses

devouring me

embracing me

with your little arms

your laughter in my ears as you slip your hand into mine

wanting to feel my skin, to be closer.

 

How deeply I love you.

I feel for you.

I care for you.

Not even a word can explain, can capture what this is, an emotion without a title, but not without its own sweet

rolling

existence.

 

My son, my boy

My little love, how far can this take us our love

our growing friendship?

Into another life, from one before?

I do not know – it’s not so relevant

today.

For today is what we have, now, and it’s full enough, here enough, real enough, deep enough to find within it an eternity of moments, an infinity of morsels

of love, of meaning, of togetherness.

I just need to stop, turn inside

look

and there you are.

Etched on the wall of my every cell

plasmic

electric

quantum.

You’re there, here, you’re part of me.

 

My boy, my love, I just wanted to tell you

how so very special you are to me

and how so blessed I feel

to be

your dad.
