Mother and Son

My Mother had her first son at age and time unknown, and lost him two weeks later to measles and a storm. I know how dear the sons are the ones you want so bad. I had two of them there's only one you have. My mother had three daughters then bore another son, who grew up strong and healthy and sang her all the songs, of love and life and liberty the tunes we love so much. My brother is a jewel, the glue of family touch. So I will say to you I love your only son and promise I will cherish him in God we will be one.
