My Son

Life is fleeting, years rush past . . .

And little boys grow up so fast

Let me take time out to be

Thankful mine's still here with me

And though I'm busy through the day

Let me take the time to play . . .

Let me take time out to smile

To sit with him for just a while

Let me take time out for walks

For swings and sports and quiet talks

For sharing giggles, tickles, and hugs

For patching knees and catching bugs

For running races, climbing trees

For helping with his ABC's

For hatching plots and planning schemes,

For listening to his thoughts and dreams

Let me tuck him in at night

Hear his prayers, turn out the light

And when my busy day is done

Let me Thank God for my Son!

Love Mom or Love Dad
