an ode to my angel














you know
that the soft spot in my heart
exists on my shoulder
and it's there that you rest your head
and curl your arm around my neck
and slowly grab at me
your little fist
opening and closing
in time with the beat of my heart
at 2 in the morning
when you smile sleepily up at me
and blink slowly
your wide blue eyes
shining in the dark
are the reason behind everything
and it is them
that gives me my energy
you are more loved than you could ever know
more precious than anything
an angel, a gift
my son
