For Logan

I wanted you from the start
                              when you were born you 
                              stole my heart.
                              I wanted to raise you with
                              your dad by your side, that
                              didn't happen and, yes son I cried.
                              I didn't want to raise you alone
                              so, I moved us back to my home
                              town.

                             To give you grandparents, uncles
                             and, aunts to spoil you rotten, 
                             to love you to death.
                             As a single mom I tried to do
                             the best I truly could for you.
                             Now, your almost 25 and my how
                             the years have truly flown by
                             and though we don't see eye to eye
                             I hope one day Logan  you will see, 
                             how much you truly mean to me.
                             I love you Logan,
                                                Mom
