Jonas
Jonas jibber-jabbers joy
Jumping joie de vivre
Jesus’ jolly juvenile
Jiggling jocular jeune homme
Mandy’s mellifluous mini-miracle
“Ma mère!” , Mom’s milky man-child murmurs
Mark muses, marvels, mellow
Mesmerizing moppet, mimicking mouthfuls
Growing, glowing
Smiling, showing
Crawling, crowing
(Nature knowing:)
(Will he bring joy?) He Jonas-sures it;
(Is life his toy?) He Jonas-serts it
(A mountain climb?) He Jonas-cends it
(“The world is mine?”) He Jonas-sumes it
JTP, initially
A boy makes 3
God smiles at thee
“Mom, dad and me”
Love’s symphony
