My Little Boy

I heard my little boy take his first breath,

I watched him master his wobbly first steps…

I held his hand while crossing the street,

I dried his tears when he scraped his knees…

I checked his closet for goblins and ghouls,

I taught him his prayers and the Golden Rule…

I cheered him on through sports and trials,

Win or lose, supporting him all the while…

I closed my eyes for a only second or two,

Now suddenly, my little boy’s feet

Fill a grown man’s shoes!
