My Baby Boy, Always
Nineteen years ago, a precious gift, given to me
Having a son to call my own, forever to keep
A bond between mother and son, never to be broken
A love so great, to define in words, could never be spoken
Frequently I visit that night, just to hold you in my arms
To remember what it feels like, to shelter you from harm
October 31, 1996, my life became anew
Family gathered outside, waiting for the news
Your dad and I so anxious, to look upon your face
As time drew near, our hearts began to race
Counting every minute, as time was passing by
The wait finally over, as we heard your welcome cry
Neo Natal called to stand-by, my heart dropped in my chest
Asking God to intervene, He proved His faithfulness
In my arms you was placed, I thanked God above
Perfect in every way, a son to forever love
That evening I held you close, not wanting to let you go
The peace that entered from within, forever to hold
Contentment for hours, your face I looked upon
It is amazing, the love, between mother and a son
I have always believed, God holds great plans for you
Always allow Him, to guide and see you through
Running to and fro, quoting scripture from God's Holy Book
As a little boy, in you, the Holy Spirit, overtook
Looking back I see, time refused to stand still
Having plans and dreams of your own, wanting to fulfill
From a baby boy to a man, exceptional you have become
A life of chasing dreams, your future has begun
Always know that through this life, I am close to you
Praying for guidance, your biggest fan, cheering you through
There is no doubt in my mind, great things you will accomplish
Hold to the hand of God, my son, He will give you the life He promised
Born unto me, innocent, and pure as the driven snow
When my time comes to part this life, I pray you will always know
I am watching from above, as all your dreams fulfill
As you travel life's roads, asking Jesus to take the wheel
A perfect mother, I have never been, though I love you so
All that I have taught you, I pray you will forever hold
Jesus is the way, with Him you are never lost
Never turning your back, always looking to the cross
No words could ever explain, the love a mother holds for her son
The joy you have brought to my life, never to be undone
As long as the sun rises and cast itself upon the sea
To me, my baby boy, you will always be
Chase your dreams, with God as your guiding star
Become the man God intended, a child of God, you are
Many lessons you have taught me, as I watched you grow
That love exceeds, with no boundaries, a love so unknown
Remember I am by your side, through thick and thin
Never to leave you or forsake you, with you until the end
In life, many will fail you, never to see you through
Wherever you go in life, I promise to follow you
I love you son, as high as the mountains, deep as the sea
Having you for a son has made my life complete
Deep inside, my heart you will forever be
My little boy, I will protect and love, throughout eternity
Dedicated to my son, Colton. From a little boy to an exceptional young man! I love you as high as the mountains, rivers wide and deep as the sea!
