My Boy "Will"

My little boy is all grown up
The toys are put away,
It seems like only yesterday
That I would watch him play.

He loved his football most of all
And "army men" galore,
And with each dollar he'd receive
He'd always buy some more.

So as I made this cake today
I thought of years gone by,
And placed the "army men" on top
Then breathed a Mother's sigh.

I love you more with every year
Than you will know or see,
And in my heart you'll always be
My "little boy", to me!
