My Sunshine

Like mother,
Like daughter,
thanks to my mother
I’ll protect him forever
And fill him with laughter.

The way I love,
I learned from you,
I go above and beyond,
I’ll be the reason he pulls through.

He is my son,
I am his glue.
It feels like his life has just begun,
As I kiss his latest boo-boo.

I look into his eyes,
So full of life and bright
And I remember why
I keep fighting the good fight.

I am who I am
Today because of you.
My love for you weighs a billion kilograms,
I love you THIS MUCH,
Please know that that’s true.

I strive to be a good mother,
My son is my sunshine
And he’ll never have another,
So I will be the best that I can be 
this time and forever.

Life just isn’t fulfilling
Without children in it,
For those who are willing,
There’s nothing quite like being the lap
In which they sit.

I live for the hugs,
His smile melts my heart,
He is my doodlebug
And has been from the start.


My dear son,
Mommy loves you,
From the earth to the moon 
And all across the seas.
