My Forest, I treasure so all of your “firsts.”

You’re cooing and laughing and crawling in bursts!

The world is a wonder when seen through your eyes;

the smallest of things make the biggest surprise.

My life’s been a challenge since day number one,

but you are so worth it! We have so much fun!

Of this thing I have not a single stray doubt:

you’re my son forever, my sweet Little Sprout.
