I have written and re-written this piece many times and at last I have encapsulated my son Joshua.
This is for you Josh.
Josh
A cunning smile breaks his face
His dark eyebrow slowly rises
This cheeky chap of my demise
The prankster of surprises
A quiet side hidden away
Your secret place to dwell
It draws them in, captivates
Puts all under your spell
Haunting us, enchanting all
He can test my best resolve
In one quick quip or memory
Maternal barriers do dissolve
Now a man of level mind
From a child I raised alone
You fill my heart with pride
My Son, now man, full grown
November 23, 2014.
