For My Nephew

When I hold your tiny body in my arms,
Your little fingers clasped so gingerly,
around my single digit.

When i see that smile, strangely aware,
Full of hope and mirth and promise,
You are a fountain of potential.

You are a lucky one, sweet wonder child,
You are blessed with a beautiful mother,
And a father who dreams big as stars.

And an uncle who writes silly words in rhyme,
Expect lots of computers, and all of my time,
Nephew, I love you, enjoy this world.
