Tribute

Bryce had a school program tonight, which has left me feeling reflective and sentimental.

I just wish I could slow down time a little bit. The boys are so full of life, and so not-full of issues right now. Life is so fun for them, with no real worries or anxieties. No wonder Jesus called the little children to him. I couldn't feel more blessed! I found this poem which if I was a poet, could have been written by me.

My Son Grows Up (author: unknown)

Life is fleeting, years rush past... and little boys grow up so fast!

Let me take time out to be thankful mine is still here with me.

And though I'm busy through the day, let me take time out to play...

Let me take time out to smile, to sit with him for just a while...

Let me take time out for walks, for swings and sports and quiet talks,

for sharing giggles, tickles, and hugs, for patching knees and catching bugs...

for running races, climbing trees, for helping with his A - B - C's...

For hatching plots and planning schemes, for listening to his thoughts and dreams.

Let me tuck him in at night, hear his prayers, turn off the light.

And when my busy day is done, let me thank God I have a son.
