10

My oldest boy turned 10 just now,

He's grown big! Can't you see?

It seems so short a while ago,

He sat here on my knee.

For reading books and playing games

And nursery rhymes with glee.

My oldest boy turned 10 just now,

While sleeping silently.

He used to run and play and hide,

And still does to this day.

My oldest boy turned 10 just now,

In bed there where he lay.

Through Kindergarten, Sunday school,

And on throughout the grades,

My oldest boy turned 10 just now,

He's growing, so they say.

And on it goes, it never stops,

He's bigger every year.

One day soon he'll be the pops,

With his own children near.

My oldest boy turned 10 just now,

From all these too fast years.

But now, for now, he's still my boy,

And ever will be here.
