My Saving Grace (A Challenge Submission)
By Slekky
You came into this world Emerging from my womb Leaving empty my body But filling my heart A strong little boy Ten fingers, ten toes With that first wail My heart expanded with love And my arms ached to hold you I was wallowing in happiness Drowning in pride A sense of purpose and meaning Penetrating my very being You changed me Awakened a strength from deep within That I didn't realize I possessed And you brought forth such extraordinary love I never dreamed I could feel A change in me was apparent To all those who knew me Pats on the back became full embraces Smiles are now constant When before they were forced upon my face And emotions are now overwhelming When in the past, they were kept locked within The magic of your being Has brought endless joy to my life My little man, my baby boy You are my Saving GraceYay!!!!!
