To Gid

I didn't believe you were real

until I heard you cry

and my heart melted

and my soul grew

You became my little guy

My thumb caressed your forehead

The first touch from your mom

And though my body shook

from shock

My spirit was truly calmed

Our first night together

I held you on my chest

We breathed and

slept together

Your cuddles were the best

And now you're getting bigger

along with my capacity to care

I know that always

and forever

You will be my Gummy Bear
