To My Son

What do I wish for you Sweet Baby Boy? My bundle of love, my pride, and my joy? I wish for a burp and a smile I can keep. I wish for the angels to watch while you sleep. What do I wish for you very small child,  with frogs in your pockets and hair that grows wild? I wish for the scrapes on your elbows to heal, I wish that the broom was a horse that is real. Now what do I wish for you growing so tall? With a comb in your pocket and girls on your wall? I wish that your music would finally end, I wish that I had lots more money to spend. And what do I wish for you now that you're grown? With a house and a car and a life of your own? I wish for a woman to love you the way, That I did back then and still do today.
