the moment you were there.
Sensing you were a boy
with two brothers to share.
A bond strengthened
each day that you grew.
With each little kick
our love would renew.
Then you arrived
a bit earlier than expected.
My joy overwhelming
my sweet baby never neglected.
A flip of a coin
would decide your name.
With either parent's choice,
would you life be the same?
And then you smiled
as if you knew.
Mitchell unfitting,
but Dalton would do.
You were quiet and sweet
never in attention.
Your desires kept silent
a word you did not mention.
Sly in your learning
observation was the key.
You'd learn from those brothers
and be completely scold-free.
Then five yrs later
entered the most amazing thing.
The love with your sister
would make the coldest heart sing.
One memorable day.
A terrible fight.
A gentle hand guiding you
let your heart be your sight.
We sat under the aspens
delighting in the sound.
"All is right with the world"
the feeling profound.
Your two older brothers
going thier own, seperate way.
Our bond was immeasurable
"You're my boy." I'd always say.
You love to run
and build things with your hands.
A strong perseverance
delighting in our family's lands.
Quiet times early morning
we would start each day.
Precious, treasured memories,
i keep saftly tucked away.
"Good bye my blue eyed angel."
I'd say from the door.
"I love you my brown eyed angel."
The simple response. Nothing more.
Our life together perfect
each moment filled with love.
Sharing secrets and dreams.
This is what tales are made of.
Then one sad day
i fell apart.
I left all I knew
to begin a new start.
I cried continually
wishing you near.
Not wanting to hurt you
by seeing one single tear.
You were happy at home
with your life-long friends.
I had to be unselfish
But could our hearts comprehend?
A message you sent me
filled with sorrow and pain.
Winter's cruel and dead,
loving words were in vain.
Your warm heart chilled
Your attitude was crisper.
You found solace and peace
beneathe those aspens that whisper.
Then one day
covered in the blanket of snow
peered a single green sprout
her strength and belief just beginning to show.
And you spied her there
As you were walking along.
Something distant but familiar
A soothing, long forgotten song.
"It's ok... baby boy."
Enveloped by a comforting sway.
You could almost feel me
in some mysterious way.
Tentative hope
began our reconnection.
Trust rebuilt
My honest reflection.
to discuss the bad
some people would not choose.
but without it in my life
our character might lose.
It makes me understand
and happy to know
it is but a moment in time
and our love continues to still grow.
It shows our human strength
endurance charismatic
love will prevail
of this I'm emphatic.
Each time I call you
anxious to hear about your day.
we talk and laugh and kid around
until there's nothing left to say.
Youv'e shared about.
"The most amazing, fun cool day!"
Water balloons and sunglasses
even in cult you might pray.
I cheer you on from the sidelines.
Although they are not near.
Hoping you'll improve your time
knowing each second is precious and dear.
I'm always there for you
of this I'm sure you feel.
You are my boy.
I will never shirk from that deal.
I'm grateful for the link between us,
the bond that we share.
Honest communication
both open and fair.
Each day you've grown into
the man you are now.
God's treasured gift to me,
He so graciously endow.
