My son turns 5 today on the 5th of April and it’s the 5th day of NaPoWriMo!! Almost a week done and I haven’t quit yet…a miracle in itself 😛 I thought of sticking with the haiku theme I’ve chosen, even wrote one, and then I came across the poem I had written some time ago for this very day! Of course I had to find it after I’d already done the hard work of writing another haiku 😛 Still, since today is a Happy Day and all – no complaning 😉
So here it is – my Ode to the “The Boy who Makes Me Smile!”
THIS IS HOW I LOVE YOU!
This is how I love you…
With a primal love,
Raw, naked and drenching
Like a waterfall
That drowns me in its waters
And brings me dreamless sleep.
This is how I love you my sweet.
With a mellow love,
Soft, gentle and rich
Like the smoothness of silk
That blankets my soul
In a cocoon of joy.
This is how I love you my sweet.
With a riotous love
Boisterous, mirthful and gay
Like the whimsy of bubbles
That shower me with constant joy.
This is how I love you my sweet.
And I know you love me too.

Happy Birthday Darling & God Bless 🙂
A HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have sent him love and blessings, from Mother & Son 🙂
I reiterate my previous sentiment. You have a gift with words. Hopefully they won’t fail you in his teen years 😉
Happy birthday to a beautiful boy!
Thank you Heather!!! I quake in my boots when I think of the teens!! I was an awful one and I think I still am somewhere – just ask my Mom 😛
That is fabulous! You made my eyes leaky.
A Happy & Wonderful Birthday to mother and son 🙂
