An Ode to You

The sun was pouring down my window

The chirping of the birds

But something was picking on my legs

I heard a small giggle

I smiled to myself

I never will be bored of this..

I jumped out of my bed

But he was too fast 

I chased after him

Scooping him up 

I hugged him tight

My son,

He was squirming to get away

He looked up and said' ma, today is the day'

I closed my eyes and smiled

Today we go to meet his father

He plucked on my dress and asked

'What should i wear ma '

My son who have his father's hair and eyes

Like an ocean green and tinch of blue in it

I smiled and ruffled his hair

I told him to wear whatever he wanted

Now as i sat on this ledge listening to my son

Who is rambling to his father

I remember the day i met him

How i fell in love with him

Its been 8 years since we met

I called out to my son and told

'Lemme talk to you father dea'

I turned and walked to his father

'Hey you ,he is all grown up isn't he' I refered to our son

But no answer came up

I looked at my husband's tombstone 

I crouched down in his grave ,

And told one thing i tell him everyday

'I love you everyday my love '

I turned and walked away holding our son

Tears brimming my eye's
