Little boy with your cheeks so pink
And your eyes so blue
Tell me what's new with you?
Little one with your rocket high dreams
Laughter bubbling in streams
Oh I'll miss you, I'll miss you I will
Please
Stay little forever
I don't know what I would do
I would do without the little you
Oh, please
I'll remember forever
How your hand fits right in mine
How you smile every time
Oh little you
Little boy you have joy and you have care
Oh this happiness you share
Tell me, what's new with you?
Little one with your trucks and planes
And your cars and your trains
Oh I'll miss you, I'll miss you I will
So please
Stay little forever
I don't know what I would do
I would do without the little you
Oh, please
I'll remember forever
How your hand fits right in mine
How you smile every time
Oh little you
Little boy with your sideways hugs
Your mischievous shrugs
Tell me, what's new with you?
Little one with your books and your grins
And your trips to the fridge
Oh I'll miss you, I'll miss you I will
Please
Stay little forever
I don't know what I would do
I would do without the little you
Oh, please
I'll remember forever
How your hand fits right in mine
How you smile every time
Oh little you
Little boy with your cheeks so pink
And your eyes so blue
Oh I'll miss you, I'll miss you I will
I was playing with my nephew on a playscape today, and he kept going down the slide and then running back around to where I stood saying "This is so fun! I YOVE this slide!" (He pronounces his Ls like Ys), and he was just so joyful and so OLD (guys he'll be three in October), that I was almost crushed by the weight of realizing how fast time flies in life, and how much I'm going to miss this "little" stage with my nephew. Although time is beautiful and I am extremely THANKFUL for the time we're given, I wanted to just freeze up a little bit of this time for myself. By the grace of God I had the first verse and chorus plus a time for both written down/recorded within one hour, and the rest was written moments ago. I actually made myself cry while reading the first bit to my mom, so...yeah. I'm emotional. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, and I'm brainstorming the best way to finish and share with y'all. I do not have a piano, and don't know how to play the guitar, but hopefully I'll come up with something soon. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy the lyrics!! And bravo for reading this beast of a note. :P <3 love you guys.

In reply to I LOVE that you are playing by Sarah Bethany
D'awwwwww thanks, Sarah! <3
D'awwwwww thanks, Sarah! <3 that means so much to me!!
Haha I think that's my favorite, too. My nephew often runs to the fridge, opens it, and points at something to ask "What's this?" He's so cute.
I don’t thrive off of chaos: chaos thrives off of me.
I have felt this way so many
I have felt this way so many times with my little cousins and my best friend's nieces (they call me 'auntie' too sometimes and it's soooo adorable). I heard this little tune in my head that went with this so thank you for putting it in song form haha!
Damaris, your gift of poetry graces us more than you can imagine! Your talent is unbelievable and your writing is phenomenal! It catches the sentiment - the little bubble of unforgettable time - of a moment that seems so fleeting, so ordinary as a little boy going down a slide and creates a familiar but all the same profound perspective. It's bittersweet and a little piece of heaven, this poem! Thank you for sharing it!

Awwww
I love sentimental poetry in any form and song form just takes the cake. I felt all those emotions come back...the kind you realize when your little brother is suddenly taller than you and everyone pronounces their words correctly...Well done, well done :)
When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart.
I totally totally get what
I totally totally get what you mean and I totally relate to this poem! So very lovely, I think you captured it perfectly.

Love!
This is so beautiful! Read this yesterday but didn't get the chance to comment until now. Great work, Damaris!

I LOVE that you are playing
I LOVE that you are playing with song form now, Damaris! You're a natural. And as someone with little brothers, I understand these intense feelings. My favorite stanza was the trips to the fridge one!!
