Holy Crap!

Skate boards weren't dangerous enough?

 Drivers of the world, I would suggest you start to run;

Massachusetts gave a license to my eldest son.

Not that he is dangerous but, speaking as his mom,

The alarming prospects leave me feeling far from calm.

Even though he has my trust - I've seen that he can drive -

I know that most teenagers will crash...  Some won't survive.

Seems a little while ago he learned to ride a bike...

Everything is moving faster than I'd really like.

Now he towers over me and asks to use the keys.

What am I supposed to do?  The boy remembered "Please."

So, he's gone and here I sit - no car and just one prayer -

Please dear God look out for him and get him safely there.

(And home again...  Home again.  Jiggety jig.

I know he's older and gotten quite big;

Still he's my baby and, to his dismay,

Even at 6'2" I see him that way.)
