Too Mommy's

And whispered to you, "The best" she wished. She sacrificed, alone and scared. With all her heart, for you she cared. Even though her love, for you was great. She then had to, decide your fate. Unselfishly, she gave you a home. A place where you could play, run and roam. Having to give up, a son she treasured. With so much love, that couldn't be measured. Your first tooth, and steps she missed. And all those scrapes and bumps, I've kissed. Through all the years, I've watched you grow. I've told you of a mother, you did not know. Of one, who loved you so very much. Who longed and yearned, to feel your touch. Many nights for you, I'm sure she cried. With no one to turn to, and to confide. This I tell you, is all to be true.
