A Tribute To The Class Of 2011

They may be on their way to a new future but we mothers know that they hold our hearts FOREVER!!!

I also would like to pass on a poem that has been near and dear to me ever since my son was a toddler. It was written for a son however the words hold so true for every parent.

A Touch Of Love

You were six months old and full of fun.

With a blink of my eye, you were suddenly one.

There were so many things we were going to do,

But I turned my head and you turned two.

At two you were very dependent on me,

But independence took over when you turned three.

Your third birthday, another year I tried to ignore,

But when I lit the candles, there weren't three, but four.

Four was the year that you really strived.

Why, look at you now, you're already five.

Now you are ready for books and for rules.

This is the year that you go to school.

The big day came, you were anxious to go.

We walked to the bus, going oh, so slow.

As you climbed aboard and waved goodbye,

I felt a lump in my throat and tears stung my eyes.

Time goes by so fast, it's hard to believe

That just yesterday you were home here with me.

And tomorrow when the bus brings you home

and you jump to the ground,

You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown.

So I'm holding to these moments as hard as I can,

Because the next time I look,

I'll be seeing a man.

God's Favor On You Class Of 2011...
