I always wanted you to know,
I don’t want this to go unsaid.
For I must never miss a chance to tell you,
You are special in my heart.
Watching you grow has been a lot of fun,
It is absolutely a celebration to cheer.
I have loved, cuddled and worried about you,
You have filled my loving heart beyond compare.
You brighten up my world with your stunning smile,
Make me cry even when in joy.
I will miss your runny nose and gluey glue fingers,
As you grow up and times keeps rolling by.
Your toothless smiles and hugs and laughs,
Your cute little bum and tiny pyjamas.
All these things will be memories,
As you learn to grow and walk your path.
I scream and shout at you each day,
My son, it is out of love I must say.
Don’t take it to heart for you must learn,
Life’s not easy when it takes a turn.
Strong you must stay with faith in yourself,
Your mama loves you with all her strength.
I will stand by you when you fall and fail,
But with your own will you shall leave your trail.
You are loved in abundance as each day goes by,
A blessing to me, you are the apple of my eye.
You outgrow my lap but never my heart,
My son, You are special and I want you to know that.
