Firstborn Son

I love your smile, your eyes, your hair,

The way you run most everywhere.

Your love for books, and your brothers too,

They make me so very proud of you.

The questions you ask every day,

Your curiosity seems to say,

"Please tell me more! I want to learn!"

I'm so pleased it's knowledge for which you yearn.

I can't believe how bright you are!

Your Daddy says it's 'cause you're a Barr.

The way you laugh, the way you sing,

Such joy to my heart those sweet sounds bring.

I love how you softly whisper my name,

 And your loud shrieks of joy when you're playing a game.

You love to jump, you love to play,

If I let you, you'd stay outdoors all day.

The "Terrible Threes" haven't been so bad,

Although it's not breezy when you get mad.

Your patience with Cameron goes beyond and above

Despite being so young, you know brotherly love

I know sometimes it must be rough,

To be the oldest, you've gotta be tough.

With a baby around, life's not always grand

And you amaze me with how well you seem to understand.

You changed our world that day in May.

I knew we'd never be the same.

And even though now, you're not the only one.

I'll always have a special love for my firstborn son.
