As you and I, walked into the deep still night, through soft blue snow, shimmering under the moonlight
Swishing our footprints so light, printing them on the snow covered earth
Looking at your hands holding mine with gentle support, my eyes glistened with tears unshed, as poignant memories gushed
Just yesterday, those tender sweet arms had wound around me for comfort. Now a grip of strength.
Those tiny steps, pattered after me, everywhere I went. Now into steady strides of length.
I look back over my shoulder. My little boy left far behind, but moment for sadness vanished as now you stand beside, a man of courage and pride!
