	Ghazal L  I have a special friend. His name is Ben. He is my son.   Full nine years old, with brown eyes, and stocky build,   his smile is wide like a river and sweet as blackberries.   We adore each other, he and I. I made a promise to be worthy of his love,   and he, in turn, loves me like I love God.   He defends me from attackers. He yields his mind to me   (though it is often filled with baseball cards and chewing gum).   I am honored with his simple conversations; He is generous with his heart;   His love turned me away from thinking I was a failure. It gave me purpose when I was lost.   Lord, what a gift you have given me! To have you in a little body   surrendering to my imperfect will! You found another way to teach me, another way to reach me!   Thief of Thieves! You stole my heart with my child's heart!     ©1989-1997 by Michael Childs from “An Alphabet of Ghazals" " —Michael Childs
