Little Boy Gone

I feel your joy
I feel your pain
So much to learn
So much to gain

You love to laugh
Your beautiful smile
Your thoughts, your manner
Your very own style

Little Boy Gone

You love your pets
You love your friends
The devotion, the truth
The message it sends

You learn to grow
You learn to fall
You’re growing inside
You’re growing so tall

Little Boy Gone

I’ll always cherish
When we’d wrestle and play
Our talks, our laughing
Or just passing the day

Putting you to bed
Holding you on my arm
Giving you comfort
Keeping you from harm

Little Boy Gone

You’re now a young man
Seeing through new eyes
Learning life’s lessons
Growing clear and wise

You question life
You question the source
What makes us tick
What is the true force

Little Boy Gone

To taste, to explore
To trek, to venture
Making every day special
Making life an adventure

You’re meeting new friends
You’re seeing new places
Your future so bright
Go with God’s graces

Little Boy Gone
