I stare outside
wondering how time flies.
Only a moment ago
I held you in my arms so small.
Now you are grown.
A man for all to see.
Yet in your smile
the little boy peeks out at me.
Your journey is just beginning,
words of wisdom I wish to say.
Live life to the fullest,
every day a gift to behold.
Through good times and bad,
each lesson learn well,
and know that I will always
be here without fail.
For a mother’s love
is never ending
while time is forever spinning.
