One day you'll start kindergarten and you'll be so excited to buy school supplies and start going to school with the big kids. I'll cry your first day as I drop you off.
One day you'll have a crush on a little girl and she'll break your heart. I'll hug you and let you cry on my shoulder, if you want to.
One day you'll want a cell phone and you'll be upset that your father and I won't buy you one.
One day you'll get your driving permit and I'll be proud and scared shitless at the same time.
One day you'll go on your first date. You'll tell me not to wait up, and I'll pretend that I don't. But I'll lay awake to make sure you come home and wish that you'd tell me how it went.
One day you'll graduate high school and I'll be so extremely proud of you and bursting with joy.
One day you'll go off to college and I'll be so sad to see you go. I'll sit in your bedroom, smell your pillow, and shed a few tears.
One day you'll meet the woman you're going to marry and I'll love her like my own daughter.
One day you'll escort me to the front row in the church on your wedding day.
One day you'll have children of your own. I'll bounce them on my knee and spoil them rotten, and then you'll finally understand how a parent can love their children so much.
