For my son Rick, who always makes me smile...

Today I would like to tell you
something about my son
that little boy he once was
full of mischief and fun

He always had an answer
to everything I said
most times it was funny
sometimes it made me mad

He did it not on purpose
and certainly not to hurt
but it was always him
who had the final word

One day when he was 4 years old
he wanted to play outside
the weather was cold
so I told him, it’s better to stay inside

Why… he asked me,
can’t I go out and play?
just because you think its cold?
Yes… I answered… There’s no one out today

The next thing what he did
was running out the door
looking back over his shoulder
he shouted… Not anymore!!!

There’s nothing I could do but smile
because he was so right
while I heard his voice from far…
“There’s someone in the cold outside!!!”
