You’ll have to reach down to give ME a hug

You’ll read stories to yourself

Even your big boy bed will be too small

Your shoes will be much bigger than mine

It will cost at least double to feed you

Your razor will sit right beside your daddy’s

Someone else will snuggle with you

I’ll miss these precious days with you

And enjoy you in such different ways

One day…
