SOMEONE PHENOMENAL

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.
