Little man

I didn’t know that I would fall so in love with my son. I have always had a heart for daughters and knew that I would love them if I got to have them. But I didn’t know how big my heart would be for him! He is such a charming and sweet little person though. So full of life and smiles and joy. He teaches me so much about the kind of spirit to aspire to in life. Just as there is a special bond between a daddy and his daughters, there is a different but equally special bond between a daddy and his son. Some days I pray over him that we would be like me in some ways, and often I pray that he would not struggle with sin in ways that I have. But all days I pray peace and love and joy in Jesus over him. I love my little man.

Enjoy these lyrics from one of my favorite artists, Pierce Pettis:

LITTLE MAN
Pierce Pettis, ©1990 Let's Have Lunch Music (ASCAP)

Little man he smiles at me
He ain't got no hair
He ain't got no teeth
But he is beautiful indeed
He is my little man

Little man he cries at night
He don't know no wrong
He don't know no right
And the dark is full of serpent bites
Oh watch out, little man

I can't always catch you when you fall
As you grow you'll see I'm not that tall
Just the one who loves you most of all
Oh, little man
You're always gonna be my little man

Little man sleeping in a ball
Who's the fairest of them all
I'll leave the light on in the hall

(Chorus)

Little man he smiles at me
He ain't got no hair
He ain't got no teeth
But he is beautiful indeed
He is my little man
