Most of these poems were written for my son, Spenser.
It glows
and shines better then any gem.
I am in awe
each day when it appears.
I am so
glad that it has appeared again.
How could
someone want to make it disappear?
So
beautiful and so sweet, it is the cure for any sadness.
The whole
room glows with a heavenly light.
What could
it be that fills me with such gladness?
Why, my
baby’s smile, showing his delight.
Hey, baby
baby. You’re smiling so bright.
I love you,
baby baby. You’re a mother’s sweet delight.
Everyday I
see you, I love you more and more.
You bring
me such joy and happiness, I now have a whole store.
Your smile
and your laughter show me you’re content.
It makes me
glad to know that, because that is my intent.
The sight
of you just playing makes my full heart swell.
And if I
ever lost you, I’d lose my heart as well.
So tell me,
baby baby, are you happy as a clam?
Cause I
know, baby baby, that because of you, I am.
I want to
tell you something that I think you need to hear.
It is
something so important, that I am writing it down here.
That joyous
day I had you was the best day of my life.
Even more
important then the day I became a wife.
Your father
and I love you more then you could know.
We are
thankful to have you in our lives and in our home.
One look at
that cute smile and that tiny little hand.
Oh, It
takes some work to be a mom, but the benefits are grand.
And when
you get much bigger and have kids of your own,
I hope you
remember the words written here in this short little poem.
The morning
sun
So bright,
so clear.
It shines
upon the earth.
It’s
brightness is rivaled
By your
smile
And I feel
better
For having
known you.
The tide
goes out, back to the sea
And with it
goes my love.
I hold this
seashell close to me,
As a
seagull flies above.
The
seagull’s shrill cry echoes
Across the
sodden shore
As I
silently cry for my woes,
A love
that’s never more.
“Come
back, my love”, I cry to thee
Though I
know you cannot hear.
And the
waves roll on into the sea
As down my
cheek there rolls a tear.
The tear
falls down onto the sand
And streams
into the ocean
I wipe its
remnants with my hand,
An absent
minded motion.
I turn from
the sea and walk away
To leave
this lonesome beach.
Your love
is now so far away,
Completely
out of reach.
