That Little Boy of Mine

When I was reading the book, Bringing Up Boys, by Dr. James Dobson, I came across some lyrics to a beautiful song sung by Bonnie Owens. The words to this song are amazing and I just had to share. Upon hearing the news of recent children who have left their parents too soon, I feel that each and every moment I have with Asher is to be treasured. I cannot get enough of my sweet baby boy. He brings such joy to my life and I am blessed to be his mommy. If you are the mother of a boy, you too will appreciate these sweet words.

Who cares for fame or fortune

Who cares for wealth or gold 

Because I find a fortune

Within my arms I hold

A tiny turned up nose
Two cheeks just like a rose
So sweet from head to toes
That little boy of mine

Two arms that hold me tight
Two eyes that shine so bright
Two lips that kiss goodnight
That little boy of mine

No one will ever know
Just what his coming has meant
Because I love him so
He's something heaven has sent

He's all the world to me
He climbs upon my knee
To me he'll always be
That little boy of mine

And when he lays his head
Upon his pillow so white
I pray the Lord above
To guide him safe through the night

In dreams I see his face
And feel his fond embrace
There's no one can replace
That little boy of mine
