As I See You
A strong boy turning to a man,
intuitively managing the world,
strong in body and mind,
with deep emotion and logic both,
and a love of laughter that intoxicates.

I couldn't have asked God for more,
a son that brings such joy,
as a boy you showed me a deep soul,
one that should be for an older man,
simple in thought but deep in caring.

Your amazing growth is a wonder,
It's astonishing you'll soon be a man,
and you're already so mature,
like a man should be and still growing,
but the embodiment of manhood,
with such a deep understanding of life.

Your friends love you and you them, navigating teenage angst with ease,
shouldering complex relationships,
and making it all look so easy,
I didn't hide it so well on my turn.

I long to see what you become now,
as you journey into your own choices,
a whole world ahead of you,
but I know in my heart,
that you're ready.
