Beautiful Blond Baby Boy

There was a baby boy

With blond, fair hair

And chubby cheeks

Sitting beside me

At a restaurant.

When I saw him,

All I could see

Was me

At that age.

I had blond hair

Just like his.

Chubby cheeks

Just like his.

He was cuddly

And adorable

Like they always said

I was.

And he had the wonder

And joy

That I wish

I still had.

I smiled at him

And occasionally

Stole a glance

Whenever I had

A chance.

But the thought

Never left my mind.

That beautiful

Blond-haired

Smiling

Happy

Baby boy…

Used to be me.
