LITTLE MAN

Getting to know you more every day

I see a lot of things and I pray
That you are not like me

Or especially your daddy

I want you to be you
I want you to be happy
I hate all those times

When you seemed so stressed

You are much too young
You don’t understand
What it can do to you

And I feel it’s my fault
I wish I could do more

To ease the very thought
The fear that some day

You will be like me or your dad
I hope it’s a phase and it will fade
