My Baby Boy and Me!



It's three AM, they're all asleep, and no-one's here to see. As we rock slowly back and forth, My baby boy and me.
His little hand is feather light Tucked up against my chin. I hold his tiny hand in mine, and stroke his baby skin.
The house about us creaks and groans, The clock hands creep around. He snuggles closer to me still, And makes his baby sounds.
I love these quiet hours so much, And cherish every one. Store memories up inside my heart For lonely nights to come.
All too soon he'll be grown up, His need for mama gone. But until then I still have time For kisses and for song.
Time for quiet hours like this With him cuddled in my arms, Where I wish he'd always stay Protected, safe and warm.
And yet I know the day will come When his tiny little hand, will be bigger than my own. He'll grow to be a man.
But until then he's mine to love With no one here to see. As we rock slowly back and forth, My baby boy and me.

Your beautiful poem brought me back in time...I remember being in that moment with Jordan, and it is one of the happiest times of my life.

They may get older, but the bond only changes a little, and becomes even stonger...cherish every moment, but also celebrate each milestone...because he will ALWAYS need his Mommy. I can promise you that!!

There is nothing like a baby boy's love for his Mommy...and it never ends!! xoxo
