My Boy

A baby is a special gift
 something great
 to give you a lift

A little one
 for you to raise
To comfort and cherish
 threw the days

Although the years
 may go slow
You can watch 
 your baby grow

Teach them what
 they are allowed
What you see
 will make you proud

Love and cherish them
 from dusk till dawn
Because before you know it
 they'll be gone
