I worte this for Jake. He, obviously, has had a tremendous impact on my life. It was the strangest thing. As Christmas approached I suddenly began to feel much closer to him. I could see in
his eyes, something that was just missing for me before. That feeling of love inspired this poem.
A Child’s First Christmas
Vulnerable and defenseless
I hold you in my arms
Your eyes stare into mine
And wonderment overwhelms us
You talk to me
Asking questions only you can understand
You seem to find the answers in my face
And we share a smile
On This Christmas Eve
Your first of many
I bring you closer to my chest
A kiss on the head
In an embrace
I give you all the love in my heart
Knowing, in the years to come,
Through your works and your words
You will return my gift a thousand fold
