To My Son

As I look down at you sleeping blissfully
With a tender smile playing on your lips

I run my fingers through your hair gently
Even as I smell my milk in every breath of yours

I know you will go away one day
To build your own nest - leaving mine.

Let me savor your touch. Let me save your love.
For the lonely day when you would be far away

Let me gather all your warmth in one embrace
And save your kiss for a lonely day

These rooms will echo your naughty voice
Your books will tell me the story they told you.

Your toys will play with me as they did with you
You will be here with me even then you would not

You and me locked in these moments forever.
You and me in me forever
