This is my Birthday, a gift I wish to give to you:
A son is such a rewarding gift that one could ever have
He begins his life loving and trusting you automatically
For many years, you are the center of his life
Together you experience the delights of the new things he learns and does
You enter into his play and are once again young
And even though it's harder to enter into his would as he becomes a teen...
You are there, understanding his dilemmas and his fears
And wishing with all your heart that he didn't have to go through them...
A son's smile is a precious sight that you treasure each time you see it
And the sound of his laughter always brings joy to your heart
His successes mean more to you than your own
And His happiness is your happiness
His heartaches and disappointments become yours, too
Because when he isn't okay, you can't be okay either
Sons aren't perfect but you come close to it
You have given me more happiness than you know
I am thankful for your kindness and thoughtfulness
And I am proud of who you are and how you live your life
Words can't express how much you mean to me or how much I love you
The love goes too deep, and the gratitude and pride I feel are boundless
You are one of my life's greatest gifts
-Barbara Cage-
I know these are not my own words but they express what comes from my heart.
Loving you
Mom
