Happy Birthday my Son

20 years ago

I became your mom

I had no idea just how to be one.

There’s so much more

To being a parent you see

Than clothe, bathe, feed and repeat.

I’ve watched you learn

So many things.

I’ve seen you struggle

To stand on your own two feet.

I’ve watched you laugh, be silly and free.

I’ve seen you cry, be angry and feel defeat.

Through all of this I’ve been by your side I’ve watched you become

The kindest young man that I know.

As you set out on your own

You’ll face many things

Trials and tribulations

Happiness and grief.

I want you to remember my sweet dear boy

I’ll always be here for you

I’ll always be your mom.
