Son

Do you know you make me smile?
Smile across your face grows wide,
Wide awake at six a.m.,
All ready for this day, seaside

Do you know I love you absolute?
Absolute joy all day, you run and play
Play with your canine friend,
Friend whose loyalties like mine won’t stray

Your youthful innocence is so refreshing
Refreshing as the tepid sea
Sea that sparkles crystal blue
Blue like eyes that glint like yours with glee

Apart breaks the cloudy sky, out bursts rays aglow
Aglow, beams shine through pure white billows
Billows that open to shine on you, O child I love
Love for a son, Heaven already knows
