Lachlan
The brightest pair of eyes,
that you have ever seen
twinkle up at me.
The cutest little smile,
to melt a heart of stone,
pierces the heart of me.
He utters words of sound,
that are strangers to me.
He giggles with untold delight,
as I struggle with a toy
foreign in technology; to me.
With ease he manipulates the toy
as though he sliced a cake.
Joy untold passes across his face
as his mother reads to him
of Fireman Fred and the wondrous dog,
in adventures relieved in glory
through the imagination of his mind.
In origin his name has the Gaelic overtone
of all the Celtic lore.
Lachlan has all the strength of humankind
instilled within his core, of being.
The knowledge and the wisdom
has been stored within his mind,
to test the strength of parents, beloved of his kind.
The cutest little toddler, will one day be a man.
The man will show us strength and wisdom
as only Lachlan can.
