Slow down, Time

Slow down, Time.
Slow down.

I have a 7th grader.
A child in Jr. High.
A son that will only be in my home for 6 more years.
I can still picture his little chubby fingers playing football guys.
"Pway with me, Mama. Pway with me."
I don't want him to grow up.
I don't want him hardened by this world
How can I let him go?
I haven't even trained him very well yet.
I need more time.

Slow down, Time.
Slow down.

Show me how to do this, Lord.
I don't know how to let a child grow up.
I don't know how to do this.

How did you let your Son go?
Show me how.
