A poem a day for 2013 - day 152 - Dear God

My favorite sound is my son's laughter
Spilling from his gut
His stories and jokes
Stuttering out his throat
I love his eyes
Easy in his face
His locks
Steady on his shoulders
Those shoulders
Those carry weight shoulders
Like mine
Like my mother's
His head
Tall above mine
His skin
His licorice dark skin
Thank You
For choosing me
