"my son" , opinion?

Question

This little boy i call my son

is growing on in years.

As baby things are put away,

he outgrows childish fears.

I put aside his story books

and tuck away his toys;

he rushes off to be a man...

as is the way of boys.

I wish I'd taken extra time

as he was growing tall,

to talk and share and laugh with him

while he was young and small.

Time soon will find him gone-

that is the way of life;

he'll want a family of his own,

and he will choose a wife.

This is the way that it should be-

I know it in my mind;

but while I can I baby him,

before I'm left behind.

Answer 1

gave me goosebumps

you should find a way to put it to music, if you haven't already :)

Sad, by-the-way, and encouraging at the same time.., for we all "lose" time, and wish we wouldn't have/couldn't have..,

makes me want to go "man-handle" :) (pick up and hug and kiss) my pup's new pups before they get too big to do so without them getting upset about it :)

Answer 2

Every Mom and their sons will treasure this.  Nicely done!

Answer 3

cdays,

That was the most influential work a mother could give her son in the history of creative writing! But I doubt that the last line may be true... I think your son will keep his mother in his heart especially after such heartfelt words are expressed. I think Hallmark Cards has a special place for you to convey your thoughts... but that might be the beer talkin'....LOL!!!

Grade AAA+
