My Sweet Baby Love

that glimmer of mischief
and so it begins
blue-grey eyes twinkle
o’er his sweet gopher grin

my love for him rises
quick filling my heart
we kiss cheek to cheek
and the hugging fest starts

I fly in for weekends
he drives up for days
these visits sustain us
but longing still stays

my heart always races
when I hear his voice
while work separates us
a difficult choice

each time we’re together
is precious as gold
for he’s mine forever
to have and to hold
