For Jason Alan
When I first held you you opened your eyes and looked at me for a long time . . .
they were chestnut eyes, warm and kind,
and as I touched you ...they closed
long eyelashes and a sweet smile
your long delicate fingers held mine
I caressed your auburn hair and contemplated your noble profile
my son a gift from God to me
I saw in you, a brilliant future
My little boy,
My little boy,
warm and safe in my arms
that moment was magical
that moment was magical
Jason Alan . . . my son just the two of us while the sun went down .
