As Your Mother

As your mother
I think of you each and every day
You don't have a single sister or brother
Thoughts of you continue to replay
In my head all night long
Wishing you were here
Home with me where you belong
I can't stand not having you near
So many things in my past I regret
If I could I'd go back and undo
There's so many things I wish I could forget
But the best thing to ever happen to me was you
My light when I was surrounded by dark
My strength whenever I felt weak
When I'm with you in my eyes there is a spark
In my life you are my highest peak
A love I've never known before
Than the first time I laid eyes on you
I knew there was no one I could ever love more
Never known a love so true
I tried so hard to give you the world
Remembering the first time as if it was only yesterday
Asleep on my chest you curled
There I wish you would've been able to stay
But so many things have happened since then
And maybe one day that I will be able to explain
Nothing about back when
Has done anything but cause me pain
But because of you I continue to fight
Cuz there's nothing in my life I want more
Than to make all these things right
Even though I can't get back all that time with you from before
I can spend every day from here on out
Trying to make everything I  can up to you
To show you that it's you my world is all about
And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
Cuz you mean everything in the world to me
My first born baby boy
Growing up faster than I can bare to see
The love of my life, my pride and joy
Only four, months away from five
A month later enrolling in school
You are my every reason to strive
When I'm with you I try and play it cool
Though that's not always the easiest thing to do
It's your very smile
That reminds me I do what I do for you
But I know it's been a long while
I'm so much farther than I've ever been
And only get closer to being closer to you
After everything that happened back then
I know in my heart this much is true
You and I will be together again
Some way some how
I will keep you from any more pain
To you I make this vow
Cuz as your mother it's what I must do
After all you've already been thru
I want to prove that what I say is true
Cuz Son there is no one I love more than you!!!!
