A chapter in the book The Minute Poem

Joy

by adewpearl


I'd never known until his birth
life's fullest worth --
my firstborn son,
beloved one.

He'd strike a pose, then scrunch his nose,
or wiggle toes --
so filled with glee
my heart would be.

Back then no moments dark or drear,
devoid of cheer --
best days of all,
when he was small.
