Title: To My Son: As You Grow
Author: Tara (Scarlet) Sones

In the quiet glow of morning’s light,
I watched you grow, from dawn to night.
A path we walked, just you and I,
Under the vast, expansive sky.

From your first steps to your first word,
Each moment, a melody, sweetly heard.
A bond, unspoken, between two hearts,
A masterpiece, a work of art.

Through seasons changing, you stood tall,
From spring’s first bloom to autumn’s fall.
A boy no more, you’ve grown so fast,
Into a future, from our past.

Yet, as I see you change with each day,
A part of me yearns for you to stay.
The little boy with laughter bright,
Holding my hand, with eyes alight.

But life’s a river, flowing free,
And you must sail to your own sea.
With dreams as vast as stars above,
Carry my love, carry my love.

For though you grow and find your own pace,
In my heart, you’ll always have a place.
A part of you, in me resides,
Love shared, in us abides.

So move forward, my son, with strength and grace,
Meet every challenge, face to face.
And know that wherever you may roam,
My love for you is forever home.

A mother’s love, eternal, deep,
In whispered prayers, your soul to keep.
For you, my son, are my life’s song,
A bond unbreakable, strong and long.

As you grow up, my pride, my joy,
Remember, to me, you’re always my boy.
A treasure more precious than gold or sun,
Forever my child, my beloved son.
