My Son and his soccer Ball

How big you gotten, I see you as my son. I also see you as my baby, two years old, Cute as a button, innocent, soft baby skin,
Toes so cute and suck able are now. Big, grown
And doing tricks with a soccer ball, fancy like
Dancing a ball on your toes, I once nibbled on.
Graceful and yet so skillful, but yet so fast, how
Do you have time to even think about dancing With the ball, yet so beautiful it seems. Hackey sacs just doesn't seem to reflect the dance. Up, and Up, over, twist, back down yet not all the way,
Now over and Up and threw and twist back and around,
So beautiful, so complicated but he makes it
Seem like a breeze. How has he grown My Son
The boy who is now a Man Who dances with a soccer ball with such grace
And finesse that all stop in awe just to watch him
As he bounces this ball as he walks down the street.
Bouncy, bouncy on his head, toe, knee, head, wherever.
Just not on the pavement, anywhere but the pavement
And not to touch it with his hands. He started walking
At 9 months old and dribbling at 9 months old
Sixteen he is now and dribbling, bouncing and dancing!
Such a long way he has come, my son, grown up!
