Son's Hands
Your life has just begun, and it starts with so much love.
Your little face is beautiful, wise, soft and kind.
Our grown boy now has his own
We witness now first hand.
Reflections again of him my mind can understand.
The little fingers wrap around mine.
Wondering how long they will stay
Wrapped as I often thought of his, a lifetime now away.
No longer does he hold my hand, but instead he holds my heart
Watching him be soft and sweet to a life he gave a start.
What will these hands become.
Besides, wrapped around his thumb
Your parents love you deeply
They sing their sweet love song
You're never out of site
They know where they belong.
Most of all, you have to know whatever your hands take on
Their wish for you dear happy child is to play and be inspired
This will be an easy task as you're already so admired .
