A MOTHER'S LOVE

You make me so happy,

I'm damn near giddy.

Even when you just,

Tell me I am pretty.

You truly fill,

My life up with joy.

Then nine months later,

Came my boy.

And then there was happiness,

Like I have never known.

Now he is twelve.

Look how much he has grown.

I would not trade a day,

I would not trade a year.

Never in my life have I

Held someone so dear.

Could we have been happy?

Yes... maybe so.

But instead you chose

To leave us and go.

If you had stayed,

We would have fought and fussed.

We are truly better off,

Just the two of us.

There is nothing in this world

Like a mother's love.

My son was a gift,

From up above.

So yes, we are stronger,

As mother and son.

Because when I had him,

Two hearts became one.
