I kissed you while
you were sleeping,One after the other late last night.
As I stood and watched and gazed in awe,
The wonder in my heart took flight.
When you were babes I did this too,
Your smiles bestowed a peace;
And now I watch you as strong young men,
As the clock winds down on your childhood lease.
Your bodies are bigger, your features harder,
The muscles on your arms defined;
But deep inside, where your true self rests,
The child we raised still lines.
I must have watched for but a few minutes,
But it felt like hours and days.
For when I watch my gifts from God,
Time just drifts and fades.
I'm taken on a magical ride,
From birth til now and back;
Reliving the love, tasting the joy,
Replenishing my soul, replacing what I lack.
I am lost in your eyes, lost in your dreams,
No pain, no stress, just love sweet love.
Your arms reach out as I kiss your cheek,
And surround my heart like a glove.
Just by being you made me complete,
Everything else you do is gold.
You gave me the chance to mould the future,
As my own life's journey grows old.
So I stand and gaze on love's pure dream,
A legacy to adorn my wondrous heart.
Safe in the knowledge that as the years tumble by,
Our souls will never be apart.
