If smiles light up rooms,
yours lights up a thousand
rooms in my heart-dark-need
for such a beacon.

Yours, my own little
prince of peace.
Yours, my own little
light of the world.

  5. Oh. I so get this. Yes, a light indeed. My sixth (and probably last) child, my second son, is our "little man" and he hugs and kisses me still. He is sincere dear and often I just tear up looking at his sweetness. Yours looks like a joy as well. Always, always love your poetry.

  6. You've captured our little man so well - this brought a huge smile to my face! Great job, I love this poem and the picture, possibly the last time he wore the "ninjago" swimming trunks before they became uncool...
