A Little Longer

Just a moment more my sweet little man. Let's just stay here so I can take it all in. Just let me hold onto every moment a little longer before I have to let you go. Because every time I blink it's over and you're a little bit older, a little more independent, a little more all your own and less me. A little braver, a little smarter, a little taller.

Because every time I blink it's over and you're a little bit older, a little more independent, a little more all your own and less me.

So just let me hold your tiny hand a moment longer, let me wrap you in my arms and smother you with kisses once more. Run to me with open arms and smiles and laughter and wide eyes because sooner than I'd like you'll be running wide eyed into the arms of this beautiful wide world.
