I Love You Son
17 April, 2005
Author: Ben Franklin
I can remember the day you were born,
little hands,
little feet
and of course that cute little yawn,
I held you in my arms
and my eyes started to fill with tears,
nothing else mattered in the world,
you wiped away all my fears,
Then you hit those terrible two's,
crying and screaming for what felt like an eternity,
I was ever so greatful when i was able to have a little
snooze,
at six years me and mummy took you to your first day at nursery,
you didnt want us to leave,
we let your hand go and you gave out a big sigh,
you never knew this,
but me and your mum went home and had a good cry!
I was so proud of you on your first school sports day,
you were head and shoulders above the rest when you came first
in the 400m relay!
Now your married with kids of your own,
you will never know how proud you made me and your mum,
Id just like to say these four words....I love you son
