IN MY EYES

In my eyes, You can be anything,
a Poet or a King.
And though yet a Babe, so very small,
You are the very center of it all.
In my eyes, the sun surely rises-up through you,
as you greet a world so new.
And with each passing day, as I watch you grow,
I pray somehow, you will always know,
In my eyes, you shall forever be,
a most amazing, accomplishment to me.

Thanks again guys- for the kind words, my lil' king is grown, and 40 now, with a small king of his own-who definitely is the sunshine that lights up his world, as it should be. Life is all about change, it's the one thing we can all, be sure of ! Blessings to all !!!
