I was blessed enough to meet you
To know you
To become a part of your life
To be influenced
To love
To be loved
I met you in a parking lot
Ever since I knew about you, I wanted to
You were so little
So shy
Your eyes barely connected with mine
But in that moment, you trusted me enough
To share with me the secret in your front pocket.
You held on to them so tightly
Seeds from a tree you picked up at school
My heart missed a beat
You were my person
Little person
I got to know you better, see you grow up
Four, five, six.
What a special little boy
My heart made more and more space for you every
second, I got to spend with you
You completely changed my life
You were not mine to love, but you allowed me to
love you anyway
And you loved me back
You don’t care about my day, my battles, my scars
You live in the moment
Now
You just want to have fun
Play
You just want to laugh
Maybe my time with you is borrowed, maybe not
Maybe I’m blessed to see you become the amazing adult
I see in you
But maybe not
I don’t know where life will take us or allow us but
I do hope it entails us being part of each other’s
lives.
I hope I get to see you love and be in love
Achieve
And be something amazing
I believe you will be
I know you will
I enjoy you, being part of your journey
Having you as part of mine
I treasure that
Every second I get to spend with you
Blessed
Will life allow me to see, to be part
to be something
The time we have spent, the memories we’ve shared
The laughs the hugs
The cheek kisses
The stories, the photos
The games we have played
The silly faces
The Monster trucks, the Hot wheels races
The Park visits, the slide chases
The tons and tons of “I am faster than you” races
You stole my heart, taught me so many things.
I enjoy and appreciate every second I spend with
You
I hope life allows me to see you grow up
To see you become
SOMETHING PHENOMENAL.
