Who’d have thought it?

A tiny egg and Olympic tadpole

Could become this joy

My beautiful boy

Of all the lives in all the world

You came into mine

The start of a beautiful friendship for sure

But one that’s just so damn pure

‘Break your arms when they’re young and your heart when they’re old’

Or so I was endlessly warned

Pah!

Your mass was never a burden to bear

And without it there’s a hole…. just…. there

I don’t need this absence to make my heart fonder

I couldn’t love you more

But being without you kills me every day

And I so wish you could stay

But what we have is golden

And every smile makes the pain worthwhile

You’re a right royal pain in the ass

Daddy’s boy perhaps? No, you’re in a different class

I don’t know how I lived before you came

And in truth I don’t really care

Like my heartbeat you’re always there

Vicarious? Well maybe so if I knew what that meant

All I know is there might just be a God

Cos you were truly heaven sent
