Mommy's Little Man

 He cuddles close to my side.
I wipe a tear from his eye.
If only he could go out to play?...
I say, "Maybe another day."
If only he could understand.
Hours ago his fever ran.
Time is nothing in a child's eye.
Naturally they think time does fly.
Soon he'll grow, then he'll see.
Life was not so simple, when he was three.
I take his little hand.
He smiles at me.
That's Mommy's Little Man.
