Growing Up

oh my son, 
For that which Fate hath given,
An ocean and a continent between,
Mine heart hath found a newborn spark,
The mind's edge sharpened keen. 
Broken spirit, battered bones,
Rallying at last!
A boy's first glimpse at the world
Forever running past.
I'll miss your first steps,
Me trying to keep pace
You laying on the grass,
Delight in the sun's grace.
I'll never hear the first words you've spoken,
or listen to your logic form.
See the trials that you face unbroken,
and ease the pain when you are worn.
Every day I'll sit in wonder,
At the adventures that you'll see
My love for you is all I need,
Until you're here with me.
