Are You Proud

The minute they cry and their hearts beating next to mine, I'm proud

the first steps

first words

Wherever they go in life its up to them

The good, the bad, whatever there is to be had

They could move half a world away and my love for them would still remain the same

We all need that loving support and to be upheld like never before

To my future kids, I will always be there and tell you that your life is significant

I will build you up and cheer you on-- from the big things to the little things and everything in between

You will never have to wonder where we stand or try to make me proud--

Because I will always tell you

Shoulder to cry on

person to talk to

You can tell me your deepest darkest secrets and I won't judge you

You are my child and I, your mom
