Life's great demands...

I hasten to life’s great demands
And leave my world behind thee.
Awakened from his peaceful sleep
He searches but can’t fine me.

His little feet, they walk the floor
A favorite toy in hand.
O’ how I wish to keep him small
And not become a man.

I miss so much when I’m away
My work, it chains and binds me.
I long to see him smile and play,
Without him what would I be?

My day is done, it’s time to go
At home he’s waiting on me,
And with a leap to open arms
At last my son do I see.

I love this...and now that I am at a different school teaching first graders I see those little ones run to their dad's at the end of the day...very heartwarming.

My little one spins my world, there is no life without him.
