I clutch your childhood close
and breathe you in
Mother's milk and baby shampoo
Lavender and innocence
marvelling at what you are
and what you will become
You grew and grow
from my body
you will be a great man
you will remain my baby
Author notes
This is about my 10-month old son. I am constantly amazed at the gifts of being his mother.
