Time Passes

Ten little fingers Ten little toes Chubby little checks And a rosey red nose Seems like only yesterday But twenty years have passed My baby has grown up And it went by too fast My little boy Now a grown man A soldier, and a husband None the less a great man Bravery and hero Are words that come to mindScars and bruises Memories never far behind You couldnt have learned any better Than to do it on your own Lifes little lessons Has helped make you strong It has been documented And has been declared That you have a heart of gold And purple, a medal, to wear I couldnt have asked for any any better When God gave you to me The most treasured and precious gift I could have ever received To watch you grow From a child to a man I just hope you know I did have a plan Ypu followed my hopes Right down to a "t" You are everything I had hoped you would be To be your mother And to have been your friend Has made my life worth living All the way to the end.
