Christopher
Generosity, faith and truth.
You've taught me the art of selflessness,
And the right paths to choose.
You have raised me even higher
Than I ever thought I'd be.
I am a far, far better person
Since I first held you close to me.
You are my life, you are my treasure,
My hope, my heart, my joy.
You are my wellspring of happiness.
You are my Beautiful Boy.

beautiful poem, nice tribute to your son.
Lovely thoughts, Debra. There's too much intrafamilial strife in this society. Poems like yours may help tamp that down.
