Baby Boy

(Happy birthday Erek!!)

Baby Boy you turn eighteen
What a joy
What a happy, happy day!

There is so much
I want to share
With the little boy
Who now becomes
A fine young man

How hard it is for me
Not to rock you
In my arms
And in my hand hold
Your tiny hands

The time flew by
Before I knew it
And now I stand
Watching you build
Your own life dreams

I’ll always be
Right by your side
When you need me
To guide and cheer you up
All your years

How soon you crawled
Right out the crib
And now perceive
The world with speed
As I look back at memories
Of you and me

How sweet it was
When you embraced me
With your little arms
Around my neck
As I felt like
The luckiest mom alive

Forever be my baby boy
Sweet and tender
Full of joy

On this your day
And always
May God bless
Keep you safe
Mom will love eternally
My precious baby boy
