"Forever My Baby"
Do you understand our closeness?
The tie that binds you to me...
You were my last one born
Forever my baby, you'll be...
I smiled the minute I saw you,
The happiness you brought to me...
You were everything I had prayed for,
Dark hair, brown eyes and healthy...
My little boy so full of life,
Never without a ball...
You always had plenty of cuts and scrapes,
But never cried when you would fall...
Your adolescent years were tougher,
We drifted apart somehow...
But as you have grown into a teenager,
We've again become closer now...
There's time you feel I don't understand you,
Or maybe that I just don't care...
I can't always change a situation,
But I can tell you, I'll always be there...
I'll always have time to listen,
I will help you if I can...
As you make the journey from a teenager,
Right into a man...

you are a very loving parent and your son is very lucky to have you...you don't know how much this can mean to your kids...so many parents don't take time enough to say the things you just did...this was wonderful and made me smile...nice job!
