Ahh, my sweet baby boy

So quick to grow up

First born of five

***********************

Adult company preferred

Drawn to all things older

Cups of Coffee on the weekends

**********************

Lingering ears

Forgetting bed times

Avoiding the "kid" table

*********************

Yearning for more

Discovering responsibility

Basking in privilege

********************

Siblings declare injustice

"He's so spoiled"

Separation from the pack

*******************

Front seat priority

Lights out later

Adult meals at restaurants

******************

A childhood half expired

Soon the college dorm

To the alter or board room

******************

My Sweet baby boy

Not quite grown

Not quite ready

******************

My Mother's Heart

Not quite ready

Not quite broke
