From the crib to the desk, that smile always gleamed,
on through his life, his size could hide the mischief unseen.
As the years trotted by, his passions, they grew.
Always love of a farm, ponies, dogs and mules.
All dirt and grins, whats he done now and such,
But ya know... he ain't changed that much.
He siled through junior high and on into a cap and grown,
All the parties and 'pullings' and crusing the square uptown.
He's not much bigger now, in his stature, as he stands
From the first hop on to the school bus and now
with diploma in hand.
I watched him grow, he rarely knowing the hearts he did touch,
But ya know, now I think about it...he ain't really changed that much!
Now his caps cocked to the side-he's graduated-
Now off with the clan.
He walked on to the field a boy
Now he jumps into the truck a man.
He has a 'rep' to uphold
And moments he has to prove,
But thank the Man up above,
His heart and courage, they never moved,
He's now a fine yound man and his heart-still that gentle touch,
But ya know....all throughout...He ain't changed that much!!
In a world of chaos, where nothing stays the same
And lots of misplaced luck,
I'm really glad, my David, really hasn't changed that much!!!!!

such a nice poem..you ought to frame that next to his graduation picture.oh..about our upcoming change..naw..it aint Alabammy after all, nor Georgia..we are heading back south..to Ocala.
we have family there and it just feels right to head back to be closer to family.yeah I know it sounds like we have flip flopped on possibilities for a while, but we talked and talked and finally decided that we are going to settle on trying to get the house on the market by January then head back south.
Laura,
That's a beautiful poem and tribute to your David. Congratulations to him on his graduation.
Have a safe and nice Memorial Day weekend.
Blessings,
Renie
Laura, that is just lovely and very moving tribute to a really special person. He is so lucky to have you in his life. I agree, you should frame that for him. Actually you ought to copywrite it and send it to one of your favorite country music stars, would make a great song. Thank you for stopping by and checking out the girls. They love their new pasture and at the moment are laying around in the sun. What a life!! Best to you, Barbara
