My Forever Child

When I found you were inside of me, before I knew what you would be,

I loved you with all of heart, and you were my forever child.

When you were born and I saw your face, I thanked God for his loving grace,

And for giving you to me, my forever child.

A young boy grows so fast, and quickly the days passed.

Soon it was time for school, and for you to learn the golden rule.

A boys voice echos in my brain, always to remain, of A B C's and 1 2 3's,

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish,

Let me again read to you, my forever child.

Years go by in my mind, of a boy so very kind,

Happy places, different faces, smiles and tears, through the years.

Brocken bones and many stiches, bumps and bruises, healing kisses.

To soon he becomes a teenage boy, and now a special girl brings him joy.

Though it is so hard to bear,I know with her I must share,

And in my heart I will always love you, my forever child.

Today is the day I must say farewell to my little boy,

Though I will never forget all the joy,

All the laughter and sometimes tears,

Which you have brought me through the years,

So....as my tears fall like rain, I will reach to you with all I am,

And look into the eyes of a man.

As "I love you mommy" echoes through my brain,

Remember that you will always remain, my forever child.
