baby

baby,

you don't get it....
i'm not sure i do either....
everything changed when you, baby, came.

one full of fire, the other so tender

daddy's girl got im' all wrapped up
cried when he held the little baby bun for the first time...
holding you while doin' housework late at night
falling asleep on my shoulder EVERY night
my goodness, four and half years already passed
now 'little miss thang.' still the fire, but i see the compassion
too.

daddy's boy, not a little buddy, but a little soul friend...
like the time we were on vacation and daddy 'play cried' cuz you
wanted to sleep with mommy....his 'play cryin' nearly got u
cryin' you stepped up....my soul friend
got daddy's humor, got daddy's music in your soul
let it out son...

mystic moments when you ask questions or when you
prophesy without even knowin' it
mystic moments when you sit still in my arms...

baby, to quote somebody else....
'listen, listen, listen to my heartsong...'

baby, you don't get it
i'm not sure i do either....
i'll love you forever...

  1. Can't sleep tonight.
    And now I'm crying on top of that.
    That was BEAUTIFUL!
    So much wealth...in your words, your photos and the love. And I can't get over the little pink hairdryer...
