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.

A lovely little piece ... joyful ... and rendered with such tenderness.

What a nice looking fellow! And that sunshine ☀ smile ... wonderful!

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.

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...

This is so sweet, including the picture, and you've said so much in just a few lines.
