Life is so short,
Time goes by in the blink of an eye.
It seems like only yesterday you were a baby,
Learning to crawl, talk, walk & run.
Running to me for comfort when you stumbled and fell.
Now here we are, preparing for your senior year.
I find myself looking at you,
Marveling at the wonderful young man you have become.
I pray each night for your safety and health,
And I thank God each night,
for the blessing of having you in my life.
I wonder every day if I have prepared you,
to be out in this world on your own.
And sometimes I wish,
that you were still running to me for comfort.
But you are a “big boy” now,
And you don’t think you need Mom as much.
But no matter how old you get,
How far away you live,
I will always be here for you,
Anytime, anywhere.
Because you will always be “my baby”.
