I loved you as an infant,
Innocent and sweet.

I loved you as a toddler,
Wobbling on your feet.

I loved you as a two year old,
Terrible and all.

I loved you at age three,
Catching your first ball.

At age four I loved you,
And letting go was tough-
When Preschool time rolled round
I couldn't hug you just enough.

I loved you at age five,
When off to Big Boy School you went.
I'll tell you a little secret-
I cried till I was spent.

When you were six I loved you,
I told you it was so-
No-matter how mean I was,
When I told you "no."

And now you're seven,
Son of mine.
My love for you still grows,
I love you from your tangled hair,
All the way down to your toes.

And as you age,
Year after year
I hope you know this too-
Your mother's love will never end,
I promise this to you.
