MY DEAREST LITTLE BOY
Come here little boy, climb upon my knee
Come tell me all the things that you want to be.
Will you be a cowboy that will ride upon a horse
Will you be a pilot that flies upon a course
Will you be an astronaut and travel into space
Will you be a president, and in history take your place
Will you be an actor who shall one day be a star
Will you be a doctor who helps in lands afar
Will you be a teacher and help a child learn
Will you be a policeman who shows a real concern
Will you be a singer who’s voice can please the crowd
Will you be an advocate who speaks his mind aloud
Will you be a judge, who fights to uphold peace
Will you be an athlete who’s wonders never cease
Will you be a husband and have a lovely wife
Will you be a father of a child in your life
My dearest little boy, I have such faith in you
And I know you’ll be the greatest at anything you do.

MY PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL
Come here little girl, climb upon my knee
Come tell me all the things that you want to be
Will you be a model and pose in magazines?
Will you be a movie star on the silver screens?
Will you be a nurse who helps the ones who ail?
Will you be a princess who lives out a fairy tale?
Will you be an activist who fights to save the trees?
Will you be a chemist who find cures for disease?
Will you be a dancer that glides across the stage?
Will you be a writer that enchants us with each page?
Will you be a painter that creates a work of art?
Will you be a counselor who can mend a broken heart?
Will you be a gymnast who can balance on a beam?
Will you be a medalist on an Olympic team?
Will you be a bride and make a lovely wife?
Will you be a mother and give a child life?
My precious little girl, I have such faith in you
And I know you’ll be the greatest, at anything you do.

Please Forgive Me
Please forgive me if I yell too much,
sometimes I just forget,
that sometimes you don't understand,
because you haven't grown up yet.
Please forgive me if I've hurt you
or somehow made you sad
And please don't ever think
that I think you are bad.
Please don't think that I'm not happy
when I've come home to you
for you're the very reason
that I do everything I do
Maybe I'm not good
at teaching right from wrong,
I guess I just get tired
because my hard days seems so long.
But no matter if you're good or bad
no matter what you do,
there will never come a day
that I could need a break from you!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I'll Remember When I wondered when this day came, what kind of man you'd be But I still see my little boy still looking back at me. Uncertain of your future and what it has in store I wish we could go back in time to your childhood once more To days of running in the sun and building castles in the sand To reading bedtime stories and you reaching for my hand To days I got to cheer you on as you stepped onto a field And when you asked me for a kiss for boo-boos to be healed To days you’d kick the bush out front to show it who’s the boss To days I saw you kneel on a field and mourn a hard fought loss To days of pranks you’d pull on me, though I still got you more To countless power rangers shows you watched curled on the floor To nights I watched you quietly from your doorway as you slept I prayed to God to keep you small, so many tears I wept But now my son is all grown up, a man among the men Though I’ll still see that little boy, and I’ll remember when.
