Our little godsons. Truly God sent. Aug '13. Please do not reuse.
With your little face and those sweet sweet hands
… I couldn’t love you more
When you squeal and shout though I know not what about
… I couldn’t love you more
When I look into your eyes and I know you see me
… I couldn’t love you more
Even if you push away because you aren’t a hugger
… I couldn’t love you more
When you make an effort to love your brother
… I couldn’t love you more
As your chest rises and falls while you sleep
… I couldn’t love you more
Hiding under the blanket without a peep
… I couldn’t love you more
Not knowing how to write a poem
Nor how a stanza goes
Attempting to express my love
When everyone already knows
You are both so precious and still so small
My love will likely grow
Being your auntie is the world to me
I just wanted to tell you so.
This will mean so much to them when they are old enough to read. Yet, as young as they are, I am sure they already feel all that love you have for them.
You think? I hope they'll like it more than be embarrassed by it! 😉
