~
Through the eyes of a boy, who is only now four,
A big complicated world for him to explore.
Though he can’t comprehend all that he sees,
He takes it all in like a busy little bee.
~
A look of puzzlement shows on his face,
He deals with confusion with dignity and grace.
“Someday” I tell him, “You’ll understand”,
As he grows from a boy to a man.
~
Although he wishes that day would come,
His journey in life has just begun.
Don’t run until you learn to crawl,
That’s a lesson that’s good for us all.
~
“Slow down daddy, wait for me”,
As he jumps upon my knee.
His big blue eyes staring into mine,
Seeking answers he hopes to find.
~
His every sentence ends with “why”,
As I see such wonder in his eyes.
So we sit for hours upon end,
As we discuss, how life began.

Up until this point:
“Slow down daddy, wait for me”,
As he jumps upon my knee.
His big blue eyes staring into mine,
Seeking answers he hopes to find.

This was me...even at age 19

People really need to slow down and likes things come as they will..nice write

Sometimes, Jeff, I think it would be nice to be little again. To not have all the responsibilities and worries placed upon my shoulders. But then, every so often, I too manage to get into their eyes, and I realize that it isn't so easy to be little and trying to figure this complicated world out.

Thank God your little boy has a father like you, so willing to sit and talk and help him through. Wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing another glimpse into your life.

Jennifer

Loved the write, Jeff. I too have a four year old son. I can relate very much to this piece. The little guy brings me joy everyday.
Peace, Laura
