A Poem for Teeter

I am no poet... but I always try to put something together for my kids when they go... here is Teeter's.

For Awhile Son

You were an extra special one, you were our "for awhile son".

Sent to us by God above, to cherish, care for, teach and love.

You came here like a newborn boy, couldn't roll, couldn't crawl, couldn't play with a toy.

With doctors and therapists you never fussed, you are stronger than most 'cause you've been through so much.

We remember the day that you took your first bath, your "I'm soooo big" look as you splashed and splashed.

Then there was the day that you sat on your own, there were lots of cheers and hoorays in our home.

Our hearts leapt the day that you said your first word, a sweet 'dada' for Daddy ***** was heard.

We will always remember your light belly laugh when you played tag with ***** back and forth, forth and back.

And how you smiled and your eyes shined whever you were happy, which was most of the time.

Simply, we'll remember our sweet little one, in our hearts forever, our "for awhile" son.

May I have permission to write about it on my blog?
