Daniel

 

Little boy now knows his name.
Nothing now will stay the same.
Growing up, some days so fast
But his mommy's mem'ries last.

"Mommy" as he points to me.
"Daddy" with a voice of glee.
"Mamaw" gives him a cookie.
"Papaw" sits with his T.V.

"Nanno" is my little boy.
Book is now his favorite toy.
Puzzles also bring him joy.
Daniel is my little boy.
