Array ( [sid] => 38374 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => LITTLE BOY INSIDE! [time] => 2004-03-12 15:08:49 [hometext] => [bodytext] => What would I like to be
If I ever should grow up?
When I leave behind my boyish ways,
And drink from a grown man’s cup?

Where finally shall I settle down,
And whom must I impress?
Are there any goals that I could set
To insure my happiness?

Oh little boy inside of me,
Are the dreams that fill my mind,
Above the station I will hold,
Or made true with passing time?

Will a little lad sit on my knee
Hearing tales of yesterday’s?
Shall he believe a word of it?
For I’m still him in many ways!

Does the baby girl I’m rocking,
While she burps on my shoulder towel,
Think of me as her protector?
Or a playmate mooing as a cow?

When you grit your teeth and snap at me
“All men are just alike!”
“They are nothing more than giant boys!”
Is this somehow not right?

For I never feel like growing up.
You saw this when we met.
That awestruck boy, not man in me,
How could you dear, forget?

It was not till I knew your love,
That I understood the master plan.
I shall always be that little boy,
That you turned into this man!
