1. To My Grown-up Son – Alice E. Chase
• My hands were busy through the day
• I didn’t have much time to play
• The little games you asked me to
• I didn’t have much time for you
• I’d wash your clothes; I’d sew and cook
• But when you’d bring your picture book
• And ask me, please, to share your fun
• I’d say, “A little later, son”

2. • I’d tuck you in all safe at night
• And hear your prayers, turn out the light
• The tiptoe softly to the door
• I wish I’d stayed a minute more
• For life is short, and years rush past
• A little boy grows up so fast
• No longer is he at your side
• His precious secrets to confide

3. • The picture books are put away
• There are no children’s games to play
• No goodnight kiss, no prayers, to hear
• That all belongs to yesteryear
• My hands once busy, now lie still
• The days are long and hard to fill
• I wish I might go back and do
• The little things you asked for
