The Man You Have Become

Time has gone too fast in my life,

I want to hold on to it forever,

I cherish the days of yesterday gone by,

All the while remembering our life's endeavor.



Ah, but the memories are all that remain.

Sweet joyous days of children laughing and playing,

A life so perfect that I desired nothing else,

Afternoons spent on green grass laying

Making clover rings and gathering leaves.


Being your mother has meant the world to me,

Giving my life to your very being,

Loving you with all my heart and more,

I love the child and the man I am seeing.


A man with a kind and big heart,

Compassion and understanding beyond,

Intelligent, creative, loving and kind,

And how we have a common bond,

In all things similar and a like.


There are no lessons left to be taught,

It took you a while, but you learned them well,

I am proud of the man you have become,

Now is the time for you not to dwell,

To pass theses lessons on to you child.
