From baby to boy
squishy rolls and chortled giggles
That cascade down from your little
baby smile –
Right. Into. My soul.
From baby to boy
How fast you grow
You are all square angles now
Elbows and knees
But your eyes still shine
When you gaze at me
“Don’t push me!” – you shout!
On the swing
As you pump and you fling
Yourself into the sky
I can see your creativity flourish
& I glow with pride
I wasn’t there the whole time
But God gave me the gift of being your mother
Not once, but twice
He smiles too, I imagine
At your lego designs &
Cardboard creations
He gave you the most beautiful imagination
Confident
Capable
Brimming with joy
I am watching you grow
From baby to boy.
