THE GIFT

finally, I held you in my arms
Finally, I could see every one of your charms
Finally, After waiting for so long
Finally, I can see why he belongs
You are a light, an amazing ray of purity
To hold you, to carress you, was a dream come true for me
You my dear, impress me like no other
Strength beyond words, a gift to your father
Beauty possesed in your spirit, that's what I saw
Love possesed in your countenance, love pure and raw
If I ever receive another gift it will not compare
To the opportunity I was given to simply carress your hair
To look upon your soul in a moment face to face
Was a memory I will charish, one that will not be erased
I have no photo, other than my mind
I guess that can be more special than any other kind.
I held your hand, I touched your face, I breathed some words to you
quietly, we shared a moment, not many others do
I whispered that I love you and I want for you the best
for daddy to be with you to hold you in your quest.
I whispered that I am honored to be standing in your presence
I said I will remember and never will I doubt
His life would be so different if you he lived without
You may seem to have little to the standards of mere men
Reality is you have much more than ten thousand of them
You gave to me a gift, to hold you in my arms
To see and feel the spirit of a child with such grace
I am grateful for the chance to kiss your tender face.
To witness first hand the courage to withstand
To sing along with a voice so beautiful and strong
To laugh and smile at the simple things, your courage will live on.
I adore a little boy, who facinates my heart
I'd love to hold you more but I had to depart.
I am so amazingly astonished at the care you receive
and when tears fall from eyes, they are tears of disbelief
tears of overwhelming compassion, and joy for the chance to see
See the care your father gave you, and realizing your bond
You have a special connection, one different and fond.
One like no other father and son, one few have with their own
Because of your unique ability, your fathers heart has grown.
Special you are, though that word is not enough
For when the days are long and when the nights are tough.
You exhibit a strenght that many could not find.
You keep on giving a love, one of a kind.
So, beautiful one, thank you for the chance
To take a simple moment and with my spirit dance.
Thank you Dylan
