With this night I sleep
I wonder what he will grow up to be
Will he be a fireman
WHo will risk his life to save a woman
Will he be a soldier
Will he die giving the ultimate sacrifice
Will he be a cashier
Seeing everyone and knowing the pain they fear
Will he be a doctor
Saving that mother with problems in labor
Will he be a preacher
Saving souls and a teacher
Will he be a race car driver
Enjoying a life many desire
As I think of what he may be
He jumps on the bed and says mommy
WHen I grow up I want to be like you and daddy
I look at him puzzled and he says
Mommy you work hard and love me lots
You make dinner and I help clean the pots
Your the best and I love you
Being like daddy I can be in heaven soon
But first he asks can I be like grandpa
Will daddy still love me if I live a little long
I look at him and wipe my tears
I tell him you have the love your daddy always had near
Daddy will love you no matter what
He wants you to be the man that you want
He lays next to me and I can feel your heavenly hand
Thank you for the one moment we had this little man
