You wouldn't know this. You were too small.
But I remember everything.
I was there the day you were born.
Patiently pacing the halls.
I wanted so badly to see you.
The mothers and childs heartrates have both dropped.

In those few seconds the world stopped.
Those seconds turned into a time of prayer.
A prayer for you
And mommy
Please God keep them both safe.
Please don't let anything happen to him.
The seconds turned into minutes
They have both become stable
Thank you God.

You was born with little complications
Your heavenly daddy was watching out for you.
Yes I believe in love at first site.
From the moment I saw you I was in love with you.
You looked up at me with those small blue eyes
And ever since then I've been hooked.

You come to me wanting a cookie
and flash those blue sparks at me
Oh if only you knew how hard it is to say no to them.
Your first word was not mommy or daddy
but nan-nell
( close enough for me)

I've watched you sleep at night
Watching your small chest rise and fall
When you whimpered I always found myself wondering why
Did the yelling follow you into your dreams?
Did you miss your daddy constantly gone for work?
Or was it just the boogieman?
I'll never know

You were far too young to remember
but during those times I held your hand
and told you it would be okay
I was your protector into the night
never leaving your side.
Your easy for me to love.

Your years have passed in the blink of an eye
I wish I could slow you down
Once a small child I had held in my arms
Now he is up to my waist.
Teething rings and diaper changes all gone with the small clothes

If only I could show you how much you mean to me.
I would lay down my life
If yours was ever in danger
You deserve to have your dreams come true

The world owes you nothing
this you must learn.
So make something of yourself
Please?
Someone I would be proud of

But this is my wish to you
I wish for you to find your way in life
With Jesus by your side.
Treat your wife right.
And be a good father to your kids.
Do the right thing when no one is looking.

My nephew you are
My nephew you will always be.
This I want you to know
I love you with my entire heart.
Remember me
