A Touch of Love
You were six months old and full of fun,
With a blink of my eye
you were suddenly one.
There were so many things
we were going to do
but I turned around
and you were two.
At two you were very
dependent on me
but independence took over…
and then you were three.
Your third birthday; another year I
tried to ignore,
but when I lit the candle
there weren't three, but four.
Four was the year
that you really strived,
why look at you now,
you're already five!
Now you are ready for
books and for rules,
This is the year that you go to school.
The big day came, you were anxious to go…
We walked to the bus, going oh, so… slow.
As you climbed the steps, and waved goodbyes
I felt a lump in my throat,
and tears stung my eyes.
Time goes so fast, it's hard to believe
just yesterday you were home, here with me.
And tomorrow, when the bus brings you home
and you jump to the ground,
You'll be wearing your cap and
graduation gown.
So, I'm holding to these moments
as hard as I can.
Because next time I look
I'll be seeing a man
