Son's poem

I wrote a poem for my son. I’d like some constructive criticism on how to make it flow ‘better’ because I fully intend to transfer it onto a plaque in his nursery with a decoupaged photo of he and I sleeping. I know it’s not the best thing ever written, but I’m not the best writer, and hold no unrealistic expectations of it ever being published. I’m sure he’ll like it for a while, and then I’ll hold onto it and maybe he’ll want it when he has his own babies. Who knows. :) But please, what do you think? What can I reword, or change, or add even?

My sweet baby boy So fresh and warm and new As tiny as a whisper All wrapped up in blue.

A most precious gift With tiny hands and feet A life path unfolding With each rhythmic heartbeat

Sleep sweet my darling Spencer The morning light draws nigh How I enjoy these secret hours As I hear your contented sigh

Your dreams are there collecting Waiting for a later day You’ll find that when you seek them They’ll eagerly come your way

Time flies by so swiftly A tiny babe you’ll be no more Infancy fades to toddler-hood Washed away as the sands of the shore

For now you are still little Curled up against my heart The day will come too quickly Our safe nest you will depart

Out into the world you’ll go Do the best you can hope to do Always remember the way back home I’ll be there waiting for you

Go forward in His glory In every thing you do Keep a strong moral compass And to thine own heart be true

This poem is great! It has very good speling and the meaning of it can really be trasfered! I Love the way is Formated and everything and I dont really think it needs more.

Thank you scunningham! What an excellent suggestion! I am definitely going to do that. :)

Good luck with labor and delivery. Congratulations on your bundle of wonder- baby boys are just the coolest and most precious thing a Mommy could ever hope to snuggle. (I’m sure a mom of girls would say the same thing about them, but I don’t have a girl, I have a boy, lol)

Answer #7

Viviana, Thank you very much. I’m glad you like the formatting- I was afraid it was a little too… childish (for lack of a better word…). If you don’t think you do now, one day you will have someone out there who does love you this much. <3

Kennyblaze, Thanks. I appreciate it.

Peace_baby, Thank you for the compliment about the poem, and even more about my parenting. I love him to death; he’s my whole world.

evieloveshistoryx, That had occurred to me to do as well. I may keep the plaque for myself, and give HIM the poem when he’s 20 and old enough to ‘get it’.
