The Nephew
Almost a year since first breath drawn
Into tiny lungs of my precious little one
Innocent eyes, wide and filled with wonder
Exploring over, around, and under
Outstretched arms beg for a lift
Into my arms, God's precious gift
He giggles and smiles when he's in my arms
Wins the world over with endearing charms
Everyone's a sucker for his cute little grins
Hearts will melt when grins mix with squints
He sleeps with his rear stuck up in the air
And has this little tail in back of his hair
He staggers when he walks
Like he's had too much wine
He's learning still
But he's doing just fine
I never imagined that one little kid
Could change our lives the way this one did
A cherubic face and a stocky little frame
This angel, my nephew, Brody is his name.
