Might Shed a Tear

It’s here 

It’s here

Senior here

I might shed a tear

No cap and gown at the end of this year for you

I’m so glad you can attend until you are twenty-two

No new car, cell phone, or senior trip to plan

Isaac as your parents we are simply proud you can speak and say “mom and dad”

A large appetite you love to eat snacks meals and treats

In the backyard there is a concrete imprint of your tiny feet 

I might shed a tear

I knew this day would come

I knew one day you would turn eighteen on a chilly January day in 2026

Your issues no human being can fix

I continue to cook and cut your food

Put on your shoes 

I might shed a tear

Making dental medical and legal appointments

For all of your  years and the next year

I am so grateful Jesus has always and continues to be here 

He has been forever faithful to you! 

I might shed a tear, one then two

People say you are handsome, I can’t help but agree

Your smile…when it’s genuine and not forced means the world to me

My daughter taught me to laugh, you have taught me to cry

To lay my head in Christ’s bosom and give Him my sacred sigh

The larger world unknown

To vote

Buy a lottery ticket

Or be considered “legal” to you is quite lame

You’d rather lay on the bed and play a toddler iPad game

How you’ve matured in weight and height and strength 

Many people see Dad’s facial features & say you both look the same

I might shed a tear

Oh my son now a man

My LORD Jesus in heaven I’ll finally understand
