A Decreed Promise
To recall the response to a test I had taken
I thought they were lying or even faking
That I was going to have a child
All I could do was turn wipe tears and smile
Doctor had told me long ago I would not be able to conceive
To my knowledge it only will take a seed
Time to say Yes; mommy time to be
A choice was given and chosen turned to me
Said that this will be a shift in your life
A beautiful baby boy who would stand and be quite
A handful full of laughter and full of joy
Hold on you will be cleaning up toys
There will be times you may not understand
remember when he walked late
but late couldn't stand a chance
How He began to pull down everything
just like you he held a note and began to sing
Tunes through the house to wake up everyone
Yes he is, he is your son
He is only five now and have many more years to turn
But what you have been given is the time to be concerned
He loves you now and forever will
a perfection of growth honesty progression of will
He will be determined to be an awesome child
Until the turn from young adult to a man's manly smile
remembering all that you have done
teaching and training him in ways as a kingdom given son
Remembering how you both were on the brink of death
soothed by an armor dressed to thy self
making sure the messenger had to take away his hands
destiny was promised prophetically proclaimed across the land
across the seas and galaxies of an all knowing One
set in stone to bring to pass the birthing of your son
remember always until the counting of the stars in the sky
like Abraham the father of nations a guaranteed good bye
a successor to pass on was given to you a son who the Father always knew
he would fulfill the call
the son of His son crossed line boundaries which blew
pass rejections doubts and fears
Mother you are a mother who stood still!
