My precious little boy
more than halfway to a man
still as beautiful as the day
you went from a bump in a belly to a babe in my arms
and I flip from wishing you never had to get a day older
to not being able to wait to see who you become
you create dreams and wonder from your fingertips down to your toes
and the laughter from the depths of your belly
remind me daily how important it is to keep our hearts young
I hope one day I can be just like you
so that when you grow up
You will have done that
better than me
