What you gave him was something
So monumental you naturally forged it
Into something unforgettable.
You’re not fireworks on New Year’s Eve,
You’re the Big Bang- Life illuminated.
There aren’t words for that known
To a monosyllabic tongue like his.
But, nevertheless, he wanted something
And you gave him just what that was,
The golden egg your pet dragon begged you
Guard with your life in each waking hour-
Please… vigilance, and don’t forget, care.
