Boy with the ocean
Reflected in your eyes
Raven feather hair
And an enigmatic smile
I wonder if God
Took a portion
Of the ashes of me
To sculpt you
So something as pure as
Silver fresh water
Would remain when I fly
Child with infinite promise
Gifted to create for yourself
A unique and fine future
Stand tall son
For your shoulders are strong
Your mind's as sharp as lightning
And your nature's magnetic
Choose your thoughts carefully
For they will lead you
Up to the mountain top
Or sink you in the deepest valley
Live well my beautiful boy
I love you

This is beautiful!
This reflects both the love you have for this child and Gods' beauty that you see in him.I've experienced seeing this in those I love, as well!

Wonderful and meaningful thoughts that in all their anonymity have the power of a raging storm. It will carry the young one a long way into the direction of The Light. It is a Christmas present without a wrapping, yet glowing in the dark. Thank you for creating and sharing. May the true spirit of The Light always be with you and the ones you so dearly love. Take care,
Chris

Georgia, you can leave the two in the contest but this one is really beautiful. I feel the love of a mother and the wisdom of the ages in your words. This is what I was looking for in this contest.
God is blessing you and your son today and always. You are both greatly loved.
