My Lil Man
The moon peeks thru my window
Looking to bathe me in its midnight light
We are one yet we are two
I feel you stretch inside my stretched out belly
Watch as your hand presses against your tiny home
I start to hum my mothers song and I can feel you shift
Perhaps to listen better I smile as the thought crosses my mind
You relax as I lay we lay watching the moon watch us
It used to be me against the world
Now its us against the world
But never fear
For i am near
And while im here
No harm will come to you my dear
My lil man my heart
Though you're still so small
And the world so big
I'd face a thousand foes
Smooth out a thousand woes
Before letting you go.
Rocking in my rocking chair
I sit and dream of years to come
Your first christmas
First grade
Your second third and fourth girlfriends
The fifth scraped knee
Your sixth doctor visit
The seventh grade when you made the team
And the eighth when you almost quit
Nine dozen late night conversations
And of course the 10 million kisses
I just cant stop giving you
A lifetime of treasured memories just waiting to happen
As I sit there rocking in my rocking chair
The moon peeking thru my window
And your tiny movements
As my heart beats with your heartbeat
And our hearts beat as one
My lil man
