If I could go back in time, and hold you safe in my arms,
I would.
If I could just read one more rainy day story book, Pooh and Christopher Robin enjoying a gusty windy day,
I would.
If I could sing one more song, softly into your ear, smoothing the fine hair from your brow,
I would.
If I could just scoop you up for a gigantic hug, twirl you in the air to hear shrieks of laughter,
You better believe it, my love, yes, I would.
If I could keep you from growing, from leaving, from going out into the world on your own,
I wouldn't.
While I loved the little you with all of my heart, I like knowing the grown you too,
I do.
