Little boy
You've been young way too long
Party's over
It's time to grow up
Already so soon
Seems too fast but
It's about that time
Little boy
You've played in traffic too long
Along the way you also learned
To look both ways before crossing
That it's okay
To step on the cracks on the sidewalk
Mama's back isn't broken
But you'll soon be
Little boy
You've been daydreaming too long
About a better life
About your future
About superheroes and video games
Wishing you had powers
Special abilities
Not knowing your own strength
Laughter and innocence
Pure and infectious
Untainted spirit
Free as butterflies
Even though you're a caterpillar
Cocooned from the ways of the world
Only to become a social butterfly
Fluttering from flower to flower
Smelling the roses
That's the moment you wake up
Little man
