Phases of A Young Man

Baby, baby please don’t cry

Your mommy is right here

I know you can’t tell me why

I’ll wipe away those tears

Silly, funny little boy

Running all around

Looking for your favorite toy

Where can it be found?

Don’t blink! You’re now in school

Spending all your days

Playing, learning, oh so cool

In many happy ways

A teenager now, hormones rage

Angsty, gloomy phase

Now his mood is hard to gauge

He’ll talk to us most days

Gets a job, pays his bills

Being responsible now

Never looking for more thrills

He turned into a man—how?
