Chapter 27 - The Boy who is .. Enough

He is nothing
like I am
But somewhat like I
thought he would be
Rebellious,
Infuriating,
in equal parts
and he is an
extension of me -

My being, my
skin and in his
own words - my eyes.
The meaning to life,
the roof over my head
my very own piece of the sky.

Could he be more "this"
and less "that" -
a diamond in the rough ?
What he is - is a boy of nine,
all of mine, he is love,
he is here, he is now,
and he is enough.
