The Gift of Others - Nick

Dear Nick,

Thank you for the gift of your smile
present from your first moment
on earth

Thank you for the gift of your imagination
your role-playing ability
the way you move in and
out of empathy

Thank you for your hugs and kisses
for your affection
and warmth

Thank you for your ongoing gratitude
for the way you
appreciate mom and me

Thank you for your sense of justice
for your desire to right
wrongs

Thank you for "men are men" wrestling
for spinning and tickling

You are a great blessing and I love you

Papi
