It started off seeing you through a cage
You were as tiny as a mouse
Now seeing you grow and grow into
A son that is becoming more aware as time
Passes
Brings me to tears
These couple months, spending time with you
Trying to play and feed you and change you
Now I have to leave you
Not for long, but long enough to miss you
I can’t put into words the sadness my heart feels
I can’t begin to describe the pain it causes
Thinking of not being near you
I love you more than words can express
I never stopped to think that this would come
I never stopped to think that the attachment I had
Was strong enough to bring me to my knees
Knowing that I will miss you
Your looks, your eyes, your smiles, and yes, even your cries
