You'll Never Remember

This is a poem I wrote for my son. It's subject to change and it may be posted here temporarily. Enjoy.

You won't recall the way the sun shone
on that wonderous, beautiful day;
You'll never know the way that we felt
when we first saw your beautiful face.
You'll never remember that day in December
Or the touch of our first embrace.
Your beauty was perfect, unequaled, divine!
Unmatched in the human race.

You won't recall the first time that you laughed -
Your father was so proud of you;
And until you grow older, you won't understand
How quickly that little boy grew.
The harder we tried to hold on to the times
The time would only pass swifter,
The longer we smiled at your beautiful face
The quicker our hearts would grow richer.

You'd never remember the day that we found you
standing alone in your bed;
You'll never know that you came to Mom's rescue
when "Mama" was the first word you said.
The times that we've weathered will burn forever -
A branding, seared deep in our hearts;
I'll forever remember that day in December
when I first met my little sweetheart.

For times will grow older and days will grow shorter
And cruel life will demand your regards -
But I hope that you'll always remember your parents,
For you'll always find love in our hearts.
