My Joy

Precious Gift - for contest


My Joy

I would so like to have
A child of my own,
I cannot have;
An action I condone.

I cannot care,
Even for a pet,
Let alone a child;
I would not gamble; bet.

A curse,
I have known it to be,
For so long;
There will be none for me.

But then,
A light in the darkness,
A glimmer of Hope
The cause is not hopeless.

And then he comes,
A bundle of joy,
Laughter in his eyes,
A beautiful baby boy.

He is my sister's,
My nephew,
I tell you that,
Blessings such as this, are few.

In just a moment,
Of holding,
My heart leaps with love,
A lifetime of molding.

Celeb, Celeb,
Your laughter is,
Music to my ears,
Mere word cannot say this,

My love for you,
Is boundless,
Bound by your smile
I am hopeless.

Caleb, you should know
I love you forever and ever,
No matter what happens,
I shall watch you, forever.
