My Son

Open arms
hugs and kisses
Mommy, I missed yous
expressions that ease my bad day
skinned knees
bed time stories
the transformation just beginning
learning and teaching
as a parent and hopefully a friend
holding on; letting go
never knowing the right time for either
remembering your baby
though he's becoming a man
no more open arms
hugs and kisses scarce
all that he is becoming
all that he will be
happy moments
moments of disdain
good or bad
my love for you my son
never waivers
you're on a crossing over
you are no longer a little boy
only you know your destination
please
keep me with you
