Dear son of mine, I love you so
More than words can say
You are the joy of my life
I cherish you more each day.
The first time I saw you
Tucked gently in my womb,
I knew you were a gift from God
I longed to meet you soon.
Your gentle, sweet cry
As life's first breath you drew,
I could hardly wait to hold you
You were my dream come true.
Little baby fingers and
Tiny little toes,
Each of them so wonderfully made
Even your precious nose.
You crawled, then toddled
And finally started to walk,
But the best part of all
Is when you began to talk.
The words you would say
The hugs and kisses we shared
There isn't another child
When whom you can compare.
You were my child of yesterday
Tomorrow a teen I see,
The years will pa** quickly by
What a wonderful man you will be.
