Unsuspected

You came when everything was wild

uncertainty was the way of life

with my hands i held You

taking care not to break your fragile body

You were so small, Your face the size of my fist

thin hair and wrinkled light yellow skin

as You were sleeping i circled my arms around You

hoping to act like a shield from the harsh reality

the world being unkind

each morning i would let You bask in the sun

strengthen You -following what the doctor ordered

each night i would rock You to sleep

while singing a song far from a lullaby

but now You’re growing up faster than imaginable

and it pains me to admit of not being there

i miss You

Son
