             TREASURE

The hand was small, soft like morning mist on a summer morn,
Eyes wide and shinning,direct unblinking, like a new born.
A face so trusting, it hurt to see, afraid I would show my weakness,
As I looked upon this wonder, I knew only God could create this.

I held His wonder close, feeling the life that was there,
I wanted to shout to the world, this I will not share.
There are many who will covet I know, for it will give much joy,
But I will not share this treasure, not this, not my baby boy.

My hat is off to you again, Sir. While I admire your ability to phrase your combat experiences in poetic terms, it's difficult for me to identify with that, never having had that experience.

But I well remember the day my son came into the world, and how I felt at the time. You have put into verse what most of us feel as fathers. Thank you.

Bill this is really very beautiful.  I don't think there's any love greater than that of parent and child.  Wonderful job!
