A Red-Letter Day Sonnet

i still remember the first day we met
 the day when you were still an infant, son
and deep within i never will forget
 how much it seemed my life had just begun
the truth is all i wanted was in you
 a tender soul who can fulfill my days
and in my heart of hearts i never knew
 how such a tiny bundle can amaze
this day is one for you and you alone
 i wish you more than anything you choose
you seem so satisfied, you seem so grown
 when only wanting to walk in my shoes
oh, don't grow up too quickly son, you'll see
 we'll always love you, your mother and me
