To MY son Nicholas...
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 my head and you turned two
At two you were very dependent on me
but independence took over when you turned three
Your third birthday, another year I tried to ignore
but when I lit the candles, 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
I drove you to school, going oh, so slow
As you walked up the stairs, you waved goodbye
I felt a lump in my throat and tears stung my eyes
Time goes so fast, it's hard to believe
That just yesterday you were home here with me
And tomorrow when you finish your last class
and are homeward bound
You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown
SO I'm holding to these moments as hard as I can
Because the next time I look, I'll be seeing a grown man...
Love Always,
From Your Mom
