Heavens gift

  • Dedicated to To my lovely boy
                                    

As told to my son, when my dear asked me the most basic question of all

And the heavens opened up to offer a gift

For all the times I had been good they said

They asked of all the treasures in the world

If one wish was to be granted

What did I covet? What would make me happy?

So I answered back, without question from thought

I want a child, the most amazing child you can give

I want them to be smart and polite and handsome as can be

But most important of all, I want them to be happy.

I want them to know just how special they are

I want them to know just how loved

I want them to love me like I love them already

As just the thought of them grows.

The heavens smiled but before they granted my wish

They warned there would be a price

I beamed and promised them anything

And they in turn gave me my star

They gave me the greatest kid in the whole wide world

My love they gave me you

And then they took their payment

and that my dear, is why I am fatter than Charlie's mom.
