My Greatest Accomplishment
My Greatest Accomplishment
My blood runs through your veins
And we share the same middle name
And from the moment you were conceived
A miracle of love was achieved
From your blue eyes that matches mine
A bond was created in little time
Rosy cheeks and strawberry hair
A miniature me was laying there
Your quavering lips matched my heart
As we both made a brand new start
Never had I experienced such incredible love
My prayers were answered from God above
This precious child was mine to keep
An honor to rock him to sleep
And a thought occurred to my mind
What a responsibility was suddenly mine
Many years later, I still feel the same
I’m so very proud to share my last name
With this little boy, who now was grown
Into my greatest accomplishment, I call my own
