My J-Boys

Before my eyes you´ve all grown each day
So much accomplished along the way
But it seems like just yesterday here in my arms
I held you all and marveled at all of your charms.

Rocking you gently to sleep each night
So safe and warm, holding you so tight
Like a little angel you all looked as you slept
Engraved in my heart the picture is kept.

Each new task mastered was such a big thrill
As I recollect back, I remember them still
I would make funny faces to get you all to smile
And we´d laugh and we´d play for such a long while.

In no time at all you all were toddling around
In a world where new treasures were all around
Such fun times we´d shared through those carefree years
Cherished moments of smiles and laughter and tears.

There were balls and sandcastles, snakes and bugs
Food fights, tree-climbing and wishing on stars
And each precious thing that you´d all say and do
Was recorded forever in my heart to hold true.

Time passed again and you all entered school
I cried and you all thought you were oh, so cool
Those days were real busy with so much to do
Always some new adventure but we made it through.

And then when I looked young men I did see
And I thought to myself oh no, how can this be?
Wasn´t too long ago I was holding their hands
We were dreaming up stories of make-believe lands.

Through all your endeavors I cheered by your side,
Through trials and triumphs my faith never died
And I realized for all my wishing on stars
For to my life boys, you have brought so much love.

Looking back there are so many times I stood proud
With wonderful memories my heart is endowed
Watching you all grow has brought me such joy
But regardless you`ll be just my little boys.
