My little bud, my sweet Noah

(I wrote the following for my nephew's 3rd birthday.)

To Noah
Love Aunt "Maui"
May 18, 2007

I will hold you close
if only for a moment
for a moment is all I have
to adore you from head to toes.

I will hold you in my heart
every minute of every day.
But the love I have for you
my heart it can't contain.

I didn't know
I could have such love
But you have stolen my heart,
a true blessing from above.

The pain I feel to see you leave
is couple with the joy I have
when I hear you say,
"Maui, come play with me."

Who knew a little boy
could have such power
to consume my heart
every minute of every hour.

Who knew you could bring such love
with your tiny hand
and dimpled cheeks
My little bud, my sweet Noah.
