Cole's Song
Dedicated to my 11 year old son
on his 11th Birthday
8/16/2005
Happy birthday my birthday boy!
I could not think of what to get you that
you would never outgrow or destroy.
I wanted to get you a shinning star high in the sky;
but as soon as the sun came up
it would only say good-bye.
I wanted to get you the highest mountain;
or maybe a water fountain;
but at 11 years old, what would you do with gifts so big and bold?
I wanted to spoil you with all the riches,
of the world;
but I could never promise you something
and not keep my word.
So all I can do is give you all my hopes;
Take them and fly high my son,
don't you ever let go or share them with any dopes.
Take all my dreams that I have for you;
to grow into that handsome young man I see you to be.
Soar with them life's bright sunbeams;
remember always you are a part of me.
You already have my heart; you have since the day you were born.
When you are all grown - up and we live apart,
you will always be my baby boy;
even when your 99 and I'm 124.
Remember this always and forevermore;
that when your mamma get's old and gray,
that you will have your own baby boy or girl , or both I pray.
Remember that you were that precious little baby boy
I held for the first time on this day, 11 years ago;
the 16th of August in the year 1994.
I love you very much my baby boy.
Mom
