my child has grown
from an infant to a man,
trying to find his way
in this world,
as a child
he reached for my hand,
now he asks for my advice
about the woman that
has his heart,
looking toward to the future
and what it may bring,
crossing the road
to be on his own,
he is sure to
make his mistakes
along the way,
but his resolve
is strong,
i watch as
he choses his
friends,
wisely for their
loyalty,
not for what
they can give him,
as long as he
choses his own
path,
his mark will
be one of greatness...
