My Son

By Wendy Shepard-Kalan

Silken gold glistens atop your head
I want to hug you but I laugh instead
Silly faces and messy places
Such a loud home my son how you've grown
The day I first held you and fell in love
I thanked God and all above
The world felt so right
As I held you that first night
12 years have flown by fast
I want every moment to last

My son my love
My precious gift from up above

Life is a gift I know
As I watch you grow
You are so special smart and funny
My sweet little snuggle bunny
Too big for mom to follow around
I know you can hold your ground
I want to guard your path smooth the way
Always be a part of your day
I taught you what I could
I just wish you everything good

My son my love
My precious gift from up above
