Bright eyes full of trust,
And a smile that melts fear,
No wonder that I must
Hold you, son, so dear.

Golden hair like straw
Little face that just shines
From the first time I saw you
I couldn't believe you were mine.

I love you dear boy
More than life itself dear
And always I want
You to be near.

You laugh and grin
Or cry when your mad
And laugh again
When your through being sad.

How much can I learn
From your outlook on life?
The outlook you have
Is so free from strife.

My little angel,
My blessing from God above,
Please never doubt
With you I'm in love.

------------------
Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time.

Thanks all...Caleb is indeed very dear to me, my darling 2y/o baby boy. I find myself missing him when I am only away a few hours.

This is so beautiful as is the innocence of a child in one's life.
