My Love, How Can I Say This?

( a poem for the day someone else starts guiding them too )

My love, how can I say this?
You are perfect as a baby
And you’re even more perfect now
I try, believe me, I try
So hard
To be the best for you
To love and guide you
And now, someone else
Will do this too
And my heart shatters at the thought
Yet this is the way as we know it
If you disagree, I pray, tell me darling
And I’ll do my best to fix it
For you are my boy, my baby
And I love you so much, I do!
