Boys are found everywhere -- on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
Alan Marshall Beck
I have loved this poem ever since I found it for Brady's birth announcement. Anyone who has a little boy will understand how true it is!
I'm lucky enough to have two of them and it never ceases to amaze me how one minute they can be running around like banshees and the next they will come up and kiss me on the arm, with a quick "I love you mum".
Let me introduce you to my precious nephew and Godson!!
