Momma's Baby Boy
by Tina Marie Rutherford

Momma's baby boy,
I look at you and I enjoy
holding your hand
and learning to understand.
what you're thinking while you play,
and what you're dreaming after the day.
Your bright smile gives me joy.
I never want to lose you, my baby boy.
Please slow down, you're growing up too fast.
My baby boy, childhood doesn't last.
Momma wants to hold you in her arms,
and I want to see you smile with your baby charm.
My baby boy, now it's time to sleep.
Rock a bye, baby,
Baby boy, sleep
