Sweet Baby Boy Grown

I used to win at every game

But hit me hard today things ain’t the same

Gone are the times of how you cried

Me telling you I’m proud you tried

Your feet so tiny way back then

but footsteps sturdy just a toddler when

you’d run away from Mommy when I’d call

so full of play you had no fear at all

caught and laughed seems only yesterday that you were small

Sweet babies grow so quick before our eyes

Asleep one minute then runnin’ out and cuttin’ ties

Make every moment count, wish I could turn back time

and do it all again so goes the rhyme

Just bought you clothes but six months later nothing fits

I’m playing catch up as you blow my mind to bits

Want to protect you but at the same time make you fly

Root from your corner ‘til the day I die

Not into girls yet and yeah I’m kinda glad

Some aspects of childhood sticking I wish you had

more of the youth that for you I had dreamed

Felt it fell short to me or so it seemed

Parents always blame themselves when things ain’t right

Only get one childhood so we want it bright

Time to love and cherish with our last breath we’ll fight

Sweet babies grow so quick before our eyes

Asleep one minute then runnin’ out and cuttin’ ties

Make every moment count, wish I could turn back time

and do it all again so goes the rhyme

Can say I love you ‘til the stars go out

Won’t scratch the surface of what my feelings ‘bout

I wanna reach for you through time and space

Let joy rain down eternal blessings connecting grace

Sacred contract as a parent time just can’t erase

Smiled as you made every gain

Memories of how you pulled through pain

Nothing could stop you not even me

On my own cloud nine to just let you be

Keep up the fight stay in the ring

Keep the mission tight you are the King

All hail to you with love my Son

Smooth sail bless up for now you’ve won
