It seems like only yesterday
that you were the little boy who
loved to learn new things~
the curious child who
captured so much of my attention.
You needed me so much then...
and you grew so close to my heart.
But as time went on, you grew more
independent and more confident~
and I watched with mixed feelings
of pride in your accomplishments
and uncertainty of how the future
would change our relationship.
