My Little Angel's

A child you feel growing inside
Only a mother can feel this pride

You see a miracle before your eyes
And get to hold him for the very first time

Watch them grow and learn new things
Your hand they held now letting go

As they need to explore the world on their own
All you can do is be there 

Even though you think to yourself
Are they ready for this?

Really it's just you not ready to let go
Always remember I will still be right here

A mother's love is forever
My child of mine

Spread your wings and fly
I will do my best not to cry
