I see you when you're fast asleep
and when you're hard at play.
The fantasies that fill your mind,
You wouldn't dare to say!

Your universe is something owned
by Heaven's little boy.
The pieces that you share with us
are treasures to enjoy!

When you within my belly grew,
I spoke to you of love
I prayed for guidance every day
and thanked our God above.

I rocked you gently in my womb;
sang all the songs I knew.
But when you came into this world
who was prepared for you?!

With eyes of blue and hair of gold,
we looked at you in awe.
An angel right before our eyes,
perfection's what we saw.

A baby boy, my "Right Hand Man"
and who would ever know
the marvels you would open up
as you began to grow.

Your words, your songs, your funny games,
and all your little pranks,
These things are precious gifts to us
and cause us to give thanks.

You laughed, you teased, you jumped, you fell
and then ran out the door.
The world outside was calling you;
It wants to give you more!

So much to see and touch and smell,
your hungry little mind
would burst with excitation with
each escavated find!

You couldn't wait to share with me
and drank up all I taught.
This little person blossoming
as growth you fiercely sought.

Your many talents don't begin
to show your rich content.
I marvel as I smile and praise
God for the gift he sent.

No more a babe, you stand erect
and meet the world head on.
My legacy will be your strength
and bless me when I'm gone.

So from my vantage on that day
affection is renewed.
You'll feel me in your heart and know
Mom still is watching you.

My eyes are ever on my boy;
Like rays around the sun.
I'll whisper in your ear each night,
"I'm proud of you, my Son".
