Baby Boy

Baby Boy

It doesn't seem fair that you're leaving me
Your heart demands you, to see what you see
Anywhere but here would do you just fine
But you're going "home," is this God's Design?


I guess that it is, the old bird in the nest
It's my job to let go, yours to do your best
I don't let you go with heavy heart alone
I wish all the happiness the world has to show

But oh how I'll miss just knowing you're near
And touching your face, and saying "you're dear."
But this is Life's way....we all must grow up
It seems only yesterday you were just a mere pup

I hope you are happy, I hope you find joy
For you have brought such love to me, Baby Boy
But never forget, if you feel alone
Your bed is still waiting...just pick up the phone.

For my son, John Christopher Kirkland, embarking on a new life with my love and support.

At first I thought this poem was going in a different direction. I started to fell sadness. I am glad it didn't go that way. There is still a sadness about it but one that can be interupted by a siimple phone call. Well written.

The bitter-sweetness of the passing of time or of an era is common to all. Actually, I'm finding joy in the sadness...so life is as it should be. :) Thx so much for all your comments. Nice to actually have READERS! :)

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
