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
