H - Angelboy

I take your smiles and tuck them in my pocket.
I pull them out when days are gray.
I take your hugs and wrap them round my heart.
All they mean to me I could never convey.

I see joy spread across your face,
the wonder and awe shining in your eyes.
The joy I'll tuck away in some other safe place,
the wonder and awe I hope never dies.

Oh child of mine, my angelboy.
The world you have given to me.
Endless love and boundless joy,
are the sweet gifts you have shared with me.
