To My Little Son

To My Little Son

My little toddler, my little son
With a honeyed look on your innocent face
With twinkling eyes full of mischief and fun
Your laughter fills my nights and days.

With a honeyed look on your innocent face
You get away easily with everything you do
Like breaking my china or that ancient vase
You know that smiling is the best way through

With twinkling eyes full of mischief and fun
You play endearing games with your spongy ball
With garbled words and your rickety run
Your impish ways are a great delight to all

Your laughter fills my nights and days
You are the essence of my life, it seems
May the Lord bless you today and always
With a vividness like a diamond that gleams.
