Reluctantly
Little boy with hair in curl,
Pretty as most any girl.
Feed you well to make you grow
Wishing that the time would slow.
Proud I am to see you growing,
Even though it’s with the knowing
Each step is one more step away
From the little boy I love today.
For just this while I hold you tight,
Tuck you in to sleep at night,
Playing part in bigger plan
For little boy, too soon a man.
