Life
One day
You'll fly away
from our nest
keeping warmth in our hearts
your soft voice
murmur in our ears
blinking eyes with happiness
We'll keep the memories
treasured in our hearts
the way you came in to our world
the joyous gift
we ever got
The scent of love
fragrant in our house
You'll leave our nest
to yours
to a wife..
to smiling children
will feel the same warmth
as we did
when we have you with us
this is life... my son
the reality; we all face
