You Were So Very Tiny . . .

. . . that you spent your days wrapped in a receiving blanket



. . . that you slept through your first Easter



. . . that this was so adorable on you



. . . that you were mesmerized by your mobile



. . . that you [happily] fit inside a bouncy seat



. . . that you'd never had a haircut




But Mostly Son - You were so very tiny, that I couldn't imagine then, what a big, beautiful boy you'd be today.

Happy 2nd Birthday Son.







i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
