My Heart

cliche all day but what the hey!

I don't know how to say
how much you mean to me
my heart is so full of love
for you

On darkest days
lonely night
sunshine, clouds
life's a struggle
we have to fight

One smile from you
takes it all away
one kiss and everything is
okay

I blinked you were one
I opened my eyes you were two
I inhaled you were three
I exhaled you were four

Afraid to move too fast
to look the other way
or you will be a young man
walking out our door

For now though
just for now
you are my baby
and I am your hero
two hearts beating as one

This is a bit cliche
there is no other way
to say how much I love you

Author's Note

For my baby who is growing up ... he is my world.. I thank God for him!
Dono, Devo, DV, Boogie Boy and all the names I call him .. my Donovan

This choked me with fear. The movemnt of the years when almost watching them through someone else's else...something you created, something that is your side kick until you eventually pass on the hero costume.

Never quite had the feeling, hope too soon.
Sad and beautiful at the same time

Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I have no criticism to offer. Just my gratitude, again, for giving me a smile. Thank you.

It touches my heart to see a mother so in love with her child. He is a very lucky boy and will no doubt always love you. One day when he has a child, he'll pour out his love just as you have. Love begets love.

This is so very loving and tender, so sweet. It shows how important your child is too you and that is very important. This is wonderful.

I can image what's it like, i have a cousin about the same age.

"On darkest days
lonely night
sunshine, clouds
life's a struggle
we have to fight"

This is a captivating stanza, it's when i realise how much you love your child. Because, at his age, you do fight most of the battles for him, but you refer to "we".
Nice write/ ps. there's no cliche in saying you love someone... that never gets old
