As I lay you down to sleep
You hold me tight -
And I remember when
As I tuck you in tonight
I remember when I had to leave
You are so big and brave today
But wasn't it just yesterday?
Yesterday you lie so still
Always awaiting my return
I'd wipe your brow, say a silent prayer
That tomorrow you might lay with me
Now you're three, almost four, years old
But always my sweet boy you'll be
No matter how much you grow
Or how old we are
My baby I will always see
Fighting so, for your life
Now you'd never know
But mommies can't forget
Don't want to
I relish every hug and kiss
Awaiting your sweet words to me
Thank you for teaching me so patiently
What life really is to be.
Beautiful....
