I Know

This was written for me by my beautiful cousin, Mary. It took me a few reads to get through its entirety. It sums up exactly how I hope Gavin feels about me. Thank you Mary! I love it, and can't wait to write it up in braille and hang in his room.

I Know

Never think I don’t understand how beautiful you are
Sight is not important to recognize you
I am the one who knows you best by far

I know you are elated with joy
When I hear that melodic sound in your laugh
To hear you makes me the luckiest boy

When I taste the salt from your tears
I know you are scared and confused
But I will try to kiss away your fears

The wonderful scent of your perfume
Fills the air and smells so sweet
I know you have entered the room

I know you best by feeling and touch
Memorizing every curve of your face
You are the one I love so much

I am the blessed and grateful one
To have you to guide me along
God was right to choose me as your son.
