Letter

To my dearest little boy
May this letter find you well
You have filled our lives with joy
Because in our heart you dwell

I hope that I am setting
An example to be seen
So that you are not fretting
About what I really mean

When I say that I love you
Please look into my eyes
Green, blue, like yours too
A boy, a man, a reprise

Letter was written to my son Jack, who was born in February of 2021. He is the child that saved us from desperation in our attempts to have children. After two failed starts, things finally worked out for us to meet one of our children. I am so thankful for Jack, and I love him so much already. I see myself in him, and I see my wife in him, and I’m excited to get to know him.
