Todd

I was told, but didn't believe.
That once they grew up they would indeed leave.
Those tiny fingers that once grasp my hand
has now grown up and become a man.

His big wide smile always set him apart.
A mischievous grin that could melt my heart.
He is silly and funny and always curious
and yes sometimes he could make furious!

But even those times when he could make me mad.
I always knew I was blessed with this lad.
How quickly he grew. With a mind all his own
I just turned around. And poof he was gone.

Toddy I called him. A loving endearment.
Many memories too cherish with even more sentiment.
Where once my child. my son did stand.
When I look now. I see a man.

I love you son.
And I always knew you would do great things.
And I'd be proud of you!

Regardless of what the future may bring.
I want you to know you make my heart sing.
My words may seem silly or even a bore,
but truth is son I couldn't have loved you more.

Where ever you go. You need never fear.
My heart is your home and I will keep you here.
God gave me this blessing to cherish and love.
But you fill me with more than I could dream of.

Take care of yourself.
Be honest. Be true
and never forget how much I love you!
