Poems for my Boys

I'm really putting myself out there with this post. I wrote a couple of poems. One for each boy. Here they are. (Disclaimer: Not sure why Peyton's Poem is double spaced, but I can't fix it. Kinda drives me crazy but oh well)

Kaleb's Poem:

“My Favorite Place”
 
The clutter fades (though three feet deep)
When I turn out the lights
And gently rock my son to sleep
And wish him sweet "Goodnights."

He tells me all about his day
in his sweet toddler prose
And though I understand most words
Some Heaven only knows.

But when his sleepy eyes droop down
And his head falls to my chest
I realize this rocking chair
Is the place I love the best.


 Peyton's Poem:
 

“Baby of Mine”

Sweet chubby cheeks

Eyes that shine

Dimpled arms

Have that baby of mine

 

Soft little coos

Giggles I pine

Oohs and ahhs

Have that baby of mine

 

Skin like velvet

Hair so fine

Pudgy little legs

Have that baby of mine

 

A mother in love

A daddy so kind

A brother for fun

Have that baby of mine.
