For Nathan.
The laughter's finished
The day is done.
Your bathed and powdered
With your jammies on.
Eyes are tiring
Ready for bed.
On my shoulder
You lay your head.
With innocence you go to sleep.
You place your trust with me to keep.
Unconditional love you give to me.
Unquestioning faith in your eyes I see.
Complexities of life not understanding.
We share together a love that's binding.
I can't explain emotions felt.
How just one look my heart can melt.
To twist me round your little finger.
With just a look that's left to linger.
I thank the Lord you came to me.
And before I go you will agree.
That I should also thank another.
My wife, my life, best friend, your mother.
