Cole
When I was not ready you came into my life
I wasn't yet grown up, or even a wife
The time had come to take on a mother’s role
I looked into your eyes and named you Cole
With eyes of blue and the thickest hair
I no longer had a doubt or even a care
The moment I held you and swaddled you tight
I was so glad to be a mother it just felt right
You took your first steps long before turning a year
and shortly your first words were spoke in my ear
Your first day of school was filled with nervous fright
You came home with a smile you were the teachers delight
Now you've grown to thirteen and you've gotten so tall
you no longer need me when you stumble and fall
Although you’re a young man and you don't have a care
Remember your mommy because I'll always be there
