To My Son

My downy headed creature
laying sweetly dormant
I wonder if you guess
how little I know
about you
life
the universe
even though I was your universe,
I gave you life,
and you are half me.
But I have learnt
the preciousness of one moment
caught in you summery green laughter
or your impish crinkly nose
and I find
I know enough.
