A Little Man Like You Poem by Gaia Rose

When I think about you, I cannot help but smile,

You make me laugh when I feel down, if only for a while,

To have a son is oh so fun, but can be tiring too,

Especially when I’ve been so blessed with a little man like you.

 

You wear me out, you run me down, you drive me up the wall,

You make my heart miss a beat when you climb, jump and fall,

You dangle from the curtains, you stick things down the loo,

Oh life’s so peaceful and quiet with a little man like you.

 

But then there is a softer side that people rarely see,

The side when you are in my arms oh so quietly,

Cuddling and kissing, like we so often do,

I love these precious moments with a little man like you.

 

Some mornings you surprise me, by helping make your bed,

By tidying your bedroom, by listening to what I’ve said,

You are my ray of sunshine, of these, there are a few,

I never could have dreamed to have a little man like you.

 

You tell me how you love me, repeatedly each day,

You make my heart burst with love when you smile at me your way,

So darling, don’t you ever question mummy’s love for you,

Cos I’m oh so proud of giving birth, to a little man like you.
