Thank You Mother-Child,Thank You,Mother-
A child holds his Mother's hand
his Mother looks into his eyes,
he holds a smile on his face
and catches her by surprise.
He holds in his tiny hand
a letter written by him,
written in blue and red crayon
tears fill her eyes to the rim.
She looks at it carefully
then decides to open it wide,
she reads it word for word
as the child stands by her side.
"Thank you Mother
for being who you are,
I love you very much
to me, YOU'RE my shining star."
Today is a sad day for her
as it marks four years to the day,
that her little precious boy was born
after his Father passed away.
She tells her precious child
every day that passes by,
how much he looks like his daddy
then she starts to cry.
"Why did he have to leave Mommy
did you not love each other any more?"
She looked into her little boy's eyes
it shook her to the core.
"Daddy had to go to war and died
but, he would have loved you so,
he told me he would come back
to be here after you were born, you know."
Her little boy dried her eyes
"Everything will be okay,
so long as I am here,
Daddy lives each and every day."
She hugged her precious child tightly
and didn't want to let him go,
he reminds her of his Father
and his Father would have loved him so.
