lullabys I sang to you
are like echos in my head
your growing up to fast my son
no more asking to be tucked into bed

your eight, going on eighteen
i'm fearful for you
we're moving to a big city
so much life yet to be seen

so bring out your picture book
sit with me
you can read
and I will look

be with me always
trust in my love
we'll color
do jigsaws
and play in the mud

i love you son
remember that.....
as you grow
i've been where your at
I know that place

the road is scary
stay young while you can
don't rush through life
it goes too fast
and soon
you'll be making plans
      Your first kiss
      your first dance
      that smile that
      you'll always miss
      your first date
      your first broken heart
      you'll come home late
      then the pain will start
then you'll leave me
you'll find a wife
we'll meet agian on your wedding day
your starting your own life
my eyes well
up with tears
to see my son so grown
remembering when you were eight,
and the time I taught you how to skate
remembering as you grew
that this time would come
even then I knew.....
I love you son with all my heart.....
precious fingers, precious toes
that I cherished so.....
but for now I will just watch you grow...

How sweet, JulieAnn! Some day your son will appreciate this.

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

some day this son of yours will treasure this touching tribute from a loving mom.  I know that I feel the same way about my three boys as you express here.

It's up to you to make it happen."
