Growing Up
Growing a little more every day
the clothes worn in summer
not fitting today
Growing each day by leaps and bounds
independent at play
new discoveries found
Growing and changing, days going by
baby curls are long gone
and your distinct infant cry
Growth spurts are often and seem overnight
no more crib rails or diapers
baby gear out of sight
Breaking away with each push and pull
stroller rides and tummy time
replaced with play dates and school
Kisses are stolen
and hugs sometimes, too
growing up harder for me than you
To dream of a boy grown into a man
full of faith, love and happiness
and following God's plan
as you grow, my love will grow with you, too
a mommy's love, infinite, unconditional and true
