My little guy is the best little guy
And I’ll tell you why
He gets things beyond his years
You wonder if he has an extra set of ears
Because he hears things I don’t even catch
And he can relay them to you
Yet he’s far from even being two
How does he do this you may ask
Without really language, it’s quite a task
But does it he does in subtle ways
A light hand gesture, a simple gaze
He uses words, one or two
If you’re still lost he’ll try to
Help you along the best ways he knows how
He can utter thoughts without having to say them all aloud
A few times we have tried to attest whether we
Are reading too far in, and whether it’s just me
Trying to decipher what cannot be
Whether everything is happening coincidentally
What we have found is that it is not
His conveyance is one with purpose with thought
I’ll give you an example when he was one and a half
He watched a movie about a dinosaur and a boy you’ll have quite a laugh
As did he,
Until it got to the point where the dinosaur brought the boy back to his family
The dinosaur couldn’t go with
Yet he urged the boy to
Nudged him close and drew a circle around who was who
The boy understood it was time to say goodbye
As did my boy as there were tears in his eyes
Which streamed down his face as he watched and he felt
And his daddy and I were so floored we knelt
Beside him not wanting to deter
The young paltable feelings that stirred
Deep within his young body and mind
A soul that seemed too ripe with time
Time that had not even elapsed
Somehow from somefar away transcended past
Love him love him love him I do
How does he know all this while not even two
