ALBERTO MAGSUCI

A Poem for my son, Aldi

I hold you in my arms

hug you close to my breast

my inner voice whispers

to love you with all of my heart,

this moment of joy I feel

I know it will last.

I've enjoyed life,

I can write prose to a beautiful rose;

paint in canvas with greens and blues

something is missing - a father's longing

for the smile of an innocent

love is  purest at infancy.

Time quickly passes

my hair is now grey

I ask for something

to find the joy that lasts

in what remains of my life

God is great!  

the gift of life

Aldi my son, enters my life

my happiness knows no boundries

bright like the stars shining in the night

the best gift I ever have,

the gift of life with Aldi..

I am old,perhaps I will not see the

day of his maturity

everyday the innocent smile

of my son I always see

which brings out the best in me,

This poem I write

shows the inside of my heart

I will always love him

this happinekss will last till the end of my life.
