Forever My Little Boy

 
 

Before my eyes you've grown each day So much accomplished along the way But it seems like just yesterday here in my arms I held you and marveled at all of your charms

 

Rocking you gently to sleep each night So safe and warm, holding on so tight Like a little angel you looked as you slept Engrained in my heart the picture is kept.

 

Each new task you mastered was such a big thrill As I recollect back, I remember them still I would make funny faces to get you to smile And we'd laugh and we'd play for such a long while.

 

In no time at all you were toddling around In a world where new treasures all over abound Such fun times we'd shared through those carefree years Cherished moments of smiles and laughter and tears.

 

There were balls and sand castles, pet bugs and cars Planes, hideouts, tree-climbing, wishing on stars And each precious thing that you'd say and do Was recorded forever in my heart to hold true.

 

Time passed again and you entered school I cried and you thought you were oh, so cool Those days were real busy with so much to do Always some new adventure but we made it through.

 

And then when I looked a young man I did see And I thought to myself--no, how can this be? Wasn't too long ago I was holding his hands We were dreaming up stories of make-believe lands.

 

Through all your endeavors I cheered by your side Through trials and triumphs my faith never died And I realized my prayers had been answered above For to my life, son, you have brought so much love.

 

Looking back there are so many times I stood proud With wonderful memories my heart is endowed Watching you grow has brought me such joy But forever you'll be just my little boy.
