Frankie

I stare at you through
Tears of joy
And still can't believe
You're my little boy.

Your little toy trucks
Have been tossed aside
Your teddy bears sleep
In a toybox they hide.

You're almost as tall as me
You skate like a star
You're so independent
You'll soon drive a car.

My sweet little baby
Has grown up so fast
The days of your childhood
Will soon be the past.

My firstborn, my angel
From Heaven above
My Frankie, my heart
My inspriation, my love.
