Someday

Tonight I rub your back

because someday comes too soon

Tonight I sing you a song

because someday won't be long

Night Night blankies, toys and pacifiers

traded in for friends, dates and tires

Tonight I rub your back

because someday you won't ask me to

Tonight I sing you a song

because someday you'll be too busy for me to

Missing teeth, giggles and bedtime kisses

traded in for that special girl or prince charming wishes

Tonight I rub your back

because someday you'll be grown

Tonight I sing you a song

because someday I hope you'll have your own

Birthday cakes, buzz cuts, and pigtails

traded in for wedding cakes,tuxes, and veils

Tonight I rub your back

because someday comes too soon

Tonight I sing you a song

because someday won't be long

-Carrie Brady

written for my three beautiful children

I love rubbing your back and singing you songs
