"Eyes of Blue"

I wrote this poem on Peter's Blessing Day (October 25, 2016).  Tom flew up to be there, but $, or lack of it, required me to stay home.  I was so sad to be at home that day, and so I wrote down how I felt.

                 

Eyes of Blue

Sweet Peter with your eyes of blue,

My heart is full of love for you.

And on this special blessing day,

I wish I weren’t so far away.

Today I want to hold you tight

And kiss your chubby cheek good-night

I wish to see your wide mouth smile;

To hear your baby coo’s awhile.

I’d love to touch your tiny hand

And wonder what your life has planned

To whisper in your little ear

And tell you this, “You are so dear”.

So though I may be far away,

My thoughts are there with you today.

Sweet Peter with your eyes of blue,

My heart is full of love for you!

        I love you all and I’m really missing

         being there with you today!!!
