I'll Stay With You Always Mommy.

My sweet little boy.  When we were out driving today, he asked me why I was sad when he turned three.  (He apparently remembers me crying and hugging him.)  I told him that I was glad that he turned three....but that at the time it made me a little sad because it meant he was growing up and that someday he would be all grown up and he would move away from me.

My sweet boy then said, "Oh Mommy, I will never move away.  I will stay with you always Mommy.  Even when I am 43 I will live at Berkshire with you....even when I am 54 I will still live there with you."

My heart swells with my love for him as tears well in my eyes knowing that someday he will leave me for good....I just want to hang on to a small piece of this sweet little boy forever.  I love you my first baby.

Love,

Mommy

My Baby Boy and Me


It's three AM, they're all asleep,
and no-one's here to see.
As we rock slowly back and forth,
My baby boy and me.

His little hand is feather light
Tucked up against my chin.
I hold his tiny hand in mine,
and stroke his baby skin.

The house about us creaks and groans,
The clock hands creep around.
He snuggles closer to me still,
And makes his baby sounds.

I love these quiet hours so much,
And cherish every one.
Store memories up inside my heart
For lonely nights to come.

All too soon he'll be grown up,
His need for mama gone.
But until then I still have time
For kisses and for song.

Time for quiet hours like this
With him cuddled in my arms,
Where I wish he'd always stay
Protected, safe and warm.

And yet I know the day will come
When his tiny little hand,
will be bigger than my own.
He'll grow to be a man.

But until then he's mine to love
With no one here to see.
As we rock slowly back and forth,
My baby boy and me.
