For My Son

From the first he brought me joy

My precocious little boy

Laughing at his humor dry

Bumping me as he walks by

Marveling at all he knows

How his quiet nature glows

Simple kindness he displays

Love the music that he plays

He was such a funny child

If, perhaps, a little wild

Now he’s growing to a man

Starting to have dreams and plans

It’s been great to watch him

Knowing how far he can go

I can’t wait until I see

Just what he turns out to be

But no matter his employ

He’s my forever little boy.
