There’s a photo for each season
A memory for each stage
A phrase for every phase
There’s a recording for each reason
A story for every place
A moment tied to each decision
And now, as one door closes to applause
There’s a need for hugs held tighter
As you grow taller
A wish for you to linger
At this age a second longer
And I know even Buddy and Duke
Will one day be left behind
There’s an understanding you will leave
A knowing we did our best
An awareness you made us better
A realization you will never be little again
But you will always be
My hope that big dreams start small
very touching -- repeat this one on Father's Day!
