To My Son I just thought of you, as I often do, And found myself smiling again. Such a sweet little boy, my pride and joy, I remember how you were back then. Running, jumping, tumbling about, Claiming the world as your own. Undaunted by anything under the sun ... Keeping track of each inch you had grown. Always exploring, trying new things. Inventing ways to fill up your day. Pushing the limit ..but not crossing the line ... Such an imp in your own charming way. Unending question ... you wanted to learn Everything there was to know. Curious about how stars got up in the sky, How music reached the radio. I cherish the moments when for no reason at all You would stop what you were doing and run ... Straight up to me with a hug and a kiss, Saying : "That's 'cause I love you Mom". Look at you now ... the man you've become ... My heart is just bursting with pride! You don't even realize how special you are ... But the world sees the goodness inside. Sometimes I wondered why I was born.. What good was I sent to do? I now know the reason I was meant to be here Is because the world needed you. Sharon Langan 2002 |
