What will you be?
=====================
My beautiful boy, asleep on my knee,
When you grow up, what will you be?
We gave you life, just a few days ago
In a few short years, we must let you go.
Will you be a pilot, and guide planes as they fly,
Or a sailor of ships, that pass quietly by?
Will you be an architect, a designer of homes,
Or perhaps a doctor, a mender of bones?
Will you sell food, to hungry passers by,
Or perhaps be a sportsman, scoring, 'That Try!'?
Will you be a teacher, enlightening young minds,
Or for the good of others, do work of all kinds?
Will you be an actor in plays, that make others cry,
Or be a miner, a soldier, or even a spy?
Will politics be your lot, improving our lives,
Or a taker of thieves, and a spotter of lies?
All of these pastimes are open to you,
But above all of these the following is true,
What I wish most for you, besides your good health,
Is for you to be you son, just be yourself.

newbiebabeover 13 years agotouches me especially this week as my son has announced his engagement. Ah, I remember those moments when I wondered the same about him. What a wonderful man he has become.
