Seven Little Poems for Sweet Charlotte Rose

Dear sweet daddy son of mine

I see it in your eyes

your precious angel baby love

your heaven-sent surprise

You’ve always loved with all your heart

children pets and friends

but now your heart is held in awe

a love that never ends

Dear sweet baby Charlotte Rose

your greatest work of art

take your time and hold her close

for she now holds your heart

* * *

Little Charlotte

sunny face

you hid my heart

in a hiding place

somewhere

far beyond the moon

where angels sing

and cherubs swoon

where grandpas play

with teddy bears

who kneel to say

their nightly prayers

you take my heart

and breath away--

miss you kiss you

every day

* * *

Who’s that singing in my dreams
each night among the soft moonbeams
only she knows-- sweet Charlotte Rose

who’s that beating on my heart
a new world that’s about to start
only she knows-- sweet Charlotte Rose

who’s that holding us so tight
every morning every night
only she knows-- sweet Charlotte Rose

who’s that riding wings of love
like a new born baby dove
only she knows-- sweet Charlotte Rose

* * *

Sweet lullabies
from heaven’s skies
could not cast
a stronger spell

serenade us
with your magic
from some sea
where angels tell

tender secrets
in a whisper
asking God
Who goes there?

Who makes us lighter?
Hearts shine brighter?
Who makes us all
walk on air?

His answer here
before us grows
His sweet song--
Charlotte Rose

Creamy dreamy in your crib
“Daddy Loves Me” on your bib

Cozy dozy in your bed
Angel dust around your head

Welcome home sweet Charlotte Rose
In your garden our love grows

Charlotte
my new
word
for love

Sweet Charlotte Rose
I love you
from your head to toes

your big brown eyes
your turned up nose
I love you my
Sweet Charlotte Rose

I love you now
and heaven knows
I will forever
Charlotte Rose
