Happy Heavenly Birthday Son......

Happy Heavenly Birthday 
"My Little Blue-Eyed Man"

I paid you a visit at your grave today
and I just couldn't find the words that
I wanted to say. The tears just streaming
down my face not even wanting to imagine
you being in such a cold and darken place.
So, I got down on my knees and
said the Lord's Prayer and when I was done
I just sat there wondering.

Where you were watching me from.
The heavens above or the ground below,
There was no grass just a small square
of up-turned dirt indicating where I
needed to come to visit my son.

All the while I couldn't stop crying,
for my heart was aching for your sky blue eyes,
your soft loving touch and that welcomed smile
that always laid upon your beautiful
rosebud lips that were once mine.

As my eyes filled more of tears
I couldn't help but recall the many days we
shared before the Lord called you to his side.

Especially remembering how we played

in on the bed the day before, 

as I was changing your wet pants

that of which you always seem to saturate. 

You were laughing and gooing at mommies voice 

when all of a sudden I leaned down close

to you; looked into those beautiful sky blue eyes and kissed your 

soft little neck and said, "don't tell Daddy, 
but I'm in love with another blue eyed

man!" Your reply was a soft laugh, and a big ol smile and 

then you said "a goo ah no!" 

There are so many other days that I will remember with you, 

but that one I will treasure, for you knew it was 
YOU who was the other man I was talking about. 
So today was just one of many trips of this kind that 
Mommy will make to come see her Other Blue Eyed Man.

Love Forever, Mommy
