so young and sweet
growing up you learned it’s hard
to stay innocent
being sensitive
empathtic in a hard world
you suffer
mother’s cry for youth
without showing their tears
smiling they encourage
we’ve all been little
yet I still fear for the young
innocence betrayed
remembering you
your joyful laugh and play
wish I could’ve stopped time
Lovely – can’t stop time but thanks to technology – we have photos and videos 🙂

He’s now quite a handsome young man. Each of my sons have of course gone through all the troubled growing up period of love and life. One tends to think back when they were so young and carefree!
