Meet My Prince.

 12 full years of you and your sweet love! The last 6 months you have raced yourself into adolescence.Overnight you grew taller and your voice changed.Probably next year you may rise above your Dad.I look hard for that little boy we once knew and surprisingly I find him often.I find his love and sweet smile.I find him in your gentle being.
