To My Sunshine...

(aka To My Nephew)

Cruising inside my sentiments of longings
I leaf through the photos of the recent past;
Feelings of yearning take over me,
And the need to trade the pictures with reality...

What I wouldn't give to have been there
During the years I've missed and will miss again,
To watch him grow, and live in wonder
As he discovers life and I discover him...

What I wouldn't give to recapture the moment
When his baby hand grabbed hold of my finger,
To see his wide smile light up his face and my heart
While he slept and dreamt as if of angels...
