Every Age Is Gorgeous

( a poem for every age they’ve been )

Every age is gorgeous
Every age is a gift
With you, my son
Every day is a treasure to behold
A lifetime in a minute
That’s how hard I try
To capture this preciousness
This essence, of unimaginable beauty
That is you
And me
Your mother
My son
Not a day goes by
Where I don’t give thanks for you
Turning my heart inside out
So I guess I’ll say this
Really, every age
Is utterly
Devotedly
Gorgeous
