To Luke on his 6th Birthday

I’ve held you in the dead of night
Chased away your fears
I’ve kissed your wounds better
Wiped away your tears

Of all the mothers in the world
You chose to bless me
Your love, your laughter and your grace
Has set my spirit free

Thank you for the flowers
That bloom beside my bed
Thank you for the little things
The words of love you’ve said

My world is so much richer
The stars shine through the night
You’ve made the very heavens sing
And filled my soul with light

No matter where life’s long road
May take your tired feet
My love will be your guide
And guard you while you sleep
