My son

it started out all three 

your father freaked out and ran out 

i guess he wanted to be free 

i was alone when people found out 

all the stares judgmental no doubt 

i was scared alone 

did not know what to do 

then there came the first sonagram 

and i knew i had to have you 

still barely in high school 

alone with my baby 

had me looking like a fool 

i thought about dropping out 

and working full time 

a job would be better with a diploma 

it went by so fast 

in a couple weeks you were here 

alone in the delivery room 

my baby boy cries 

mom forever loves you 

as you cried and whined 

ten fingers 

ten toes 

one heart beating so fast 

that mine could explode 

the love in my heart 

could compare to no other 

at one point in my life 

how glad i was that you were all mine 

taking you home with so much love 

i couldnt keep my eyes off of you 

month by month 

you grew and grew 

from bottles to food 

to crackers and your own spoons 

from laying to sitting 

crying to talking 

my love so uncoditional 

when you say mommy 

i dont mind the late night play times 

or the sticky hands 

the sweet wet kisses 

i could forever say your mine 

my motivation 

my world 

my life 

i hold you close 

to keep so safe from fright 

ill always understand 

as i am a young age 

i know it better than your auntie nancy 

by your side ill stay 

and wont run away 

youll never have to worry about who loves you 

because i will be the first to say i do 

i will never leave you like me left me 

mother son bond 

stronger than no other 

forever you and me 

i am your mother 

i will be strict 

but only for a moment 

till you learn real quick 

im not the best or even second 

but i promise you this 

you will be a legend
