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
