Being a dad., Pinterest photo, poetry by Yu/stan/kema, Putting a child to bed., Taking the time to talk., Taking time to hug., Taking time to read.
My son lies peacefully
On sheets cool and crisp.
He’s fresh from his bath,
And he speaks with a lisp.
He quickly signals to me
To sit upon his bed.
I put my arms around him
As his favorite book is read.
His head lies near my heart.
Love wells within my chest.
He calls me his daddy,
And he says, “You’re the best.”
There is nothing I love more
Than the words my son said,
As I read him a book,
And I put him to bed.

Your poetry is beautiful, and your photo speaks volumes. Reading to your child is the next best thing to hugs and kisses. -Jennie-

I’m glad you liked the poem. We read to my son when he was too young to even walk. He still reads a lot as I do.
