This poem is for my son, Jenna's Daddy. When they lay that baby in your arms you have no idea how much love will be generated in the years to come. This poem is for my son.

 

MY SON
I looked into those
Brown eyes then,
I couldn’t imagine
Way back when.
 
Do you remember
When you said to me,
It’s time to go
Serve my country?
 
I thought my heart was
Going to break
The day you went away.
You said, don’t cry Mom
Don’t shed a tear,
I have to go,
I cannot stay.
 
I see you now
The young man you’ve become
A husband and father
You’ve only begun.
 
I’m more proud of you
This day,
More proud than I can
Even say.
 
You are the love of my very life
You have a daughter and a beautiful wife.
Soon you will be adding to your family tree
It will no longer be just you three.
 
I try to remember
everyday from the dawn,
To thank you dear Lord, 
From now on.

Your son is indeed a bless man to not only have a beautiful family of his own including the new addition(congratulations),but he is bless to have a wonderful,sweet,and compassionate mother like yourself.A mother and son relationship so so precious and priceless.The exact same way that you feel about your son is the exact same way that my mother feels about me.This poem relates to me a lot.You did an amazing job of raising him to be a strong and wonderful person just like his mother :-).Take good care of yourself

There's no love to compare to the love of a mother for her son(s). I only have one and he's the light of my life. Thank you allowing us to read this wonderful tribute to yours.
