A Mothers Thoughts of Her Son

I wish that things could be
The way they used to be
When you were so young and really needed me
But times have to change and you had to grow
To the wonderful man that we've all come to know
It's nice to look back at your wonder years
With so much love and pride and a few little tears
I'm so very grateful to have a son like you
And I'll always love you unconditionally
No matter where you go or what you do

The kids "fly" out of the safe nest sad but necessary, they should learn to stand on their own feet. Always loved and always your son. - Beautiful poem. - Oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
