Lessons from my Son

I thought I knew it all

Then you were born.

You touched my soul to no end

Your cries burrowed a well

Stirred my consciousness

Awakened my humility

A collaboration of love and labor in its purest form.

I see my reflection in your brilliance and turbulence

Opportunities to heal past wounds

Nurture vital needs

Make dreams come true.

You have so much to teach me

I am ready to learn.
