These Moments are the Best

A poem dedicated to my beloved son, Taufik Henriksen just as he turned two.

My child, this body of mine
For you it’s been designed
Has been your place of rest
The times you lay upon my chest
My sweet son, these moments are the best.

My child, these hands of mine
Has soothed your fears away
Patted you gently while you sleep
Wiped away the tears you weep
My sweet son, these moments are the best.

My child, these lips of mine
Has kissed you so many times
Whispered words of love in your ears
Please remember through all your years
My sweet son, these moments are the best.

My child, these eyes of mine
Have watched you while you grow
Beheld the beauty of your soul,
I pray to God for the wisdom to mould
My sweet son, these moments are the best.

My child, this heart of mine,
Is humbled by the gift of you
A prayer with its every beat
That as life ends, in paradise we’ll meet.
My sweet son, this moment will be, the very best.
