My Dear Son

My Dear Son...
--------------------------
Will you remember this,
Your first day at school
In the principal's office?

You shrank into my arms in fear;
Your rosy cheeks fiery hot, and dark red as ripened plum.

When I am retired and old, 
And you are in your thirties-- too busy with your flourishing business!
