My Little BoogieMan

I watch him sleeping,
eyelashes against his cheek,
hair the color of a wheat field,
arms wrapped around a red power ranger,
probably dreaming of fighting "monsters",
in his black and white,
Good versus Evil world,
where the good guy always wins.

I wonder to myself
how God could have trusted me
with something so valuable,
so beautiful,
so flawlwss.

Alabaster skin,
so smooth and soft,
and tiny fingers
clenched into tiny fists,
as he conquers his own battles
and becomes the King of his own world
in dreamland.

One day he will wake up
and seem to have doubled in
size and intellect.
And he will put away childish things
as all little fellows
will some day have to.

I will wake up
on the same morning
and wonder where he's run off to,
my little red power ranger,
and always King of my world.
