My angel-faced boy






















I see your face
The view expands
I understand a greater plan
The best of me 
Reflects in you
A way to leave the old behind
And so I see
My blue eyes
But new eyes
And they smile when I sing
Sweet, sweet joy
You are to me
Sweet, sweet boy
God in heaven must be
Loving me, showing He's trusting me
To give you more than everything that you need
Sweet joy 
You are to me

I never knew 
A halo's red
A golden fire 
Around your head
I drink you up
I breathe you in
Heaven's scent still on your skin
I watch you sleep
In heav'nly peace
And I smile when I sing
Sweet, sweet joy
You are to me
Sweet, sweet boy
God in heaven must be
Loving me, showing He's trusting me
To give you more than everything that you need
Sweet joy
You are to me

Yeah, those are actually the words I wrote to a song I composed about Cruise. That's the one I tried to send you when B was born, Annie.
