Gratitude

My son, the strength you possess amazes me Invincible, a man at sixteen, my babies driving me Smart and talented, your expression gives away your honesty A blessing I believe I pray god watches over you, with a mother’s hand If need be Your path will fall on heartbreak, a troubled man with pain and grief I would endure for thee Don’t dance with demons They bring on a system that traps even with a plea Work hard, lend a hand, Please always dream that’s key Don’t take abuse, walk past your enemies Let it be Sorry if I’ve let you down Humans sometimes fail miserably You are a wonderful person, feel confident with ease God will pay the fee Be happy, you’re strong unfortunately You’re sharp, I’m proud to call you family Sorrow for your growth, I weep happily Just know throughout life’s journey You are loved deeply-
