My one and only child you are
Not
exactly by our choice
I strive to keep in my memory
The sound of
your little child voice
I study the soft curves of your face
I'm
so afraid I might forget
That trusting look that you have for
me.
That innocent look you haven't lost yet.
Sometimes, I wish time
would stop
Just for a little while
Make it last just a little
longer
Time to enjoy your little boy smile.
My one and only child you
are
It wasn't planned that way
And maybe it won't be like
that
Maybe you'll have a brother or sister someday.
But if that day
doesn't happen
You'll be happy and content to be
My one and onl;y
bright little boy
You mean the world to me.
So as your little boy
days
Turn far too quickly into a young man's
I struggle to hold
on to the feeling
Of my little guy holding my hand.
I pray
for the knowledge to guide you
In the ways that are right for
you
I hope you'll feel you can confide in me
And trust me with
;your feelings, too.
I want only the very best for you
To always
feel loved, confident, and happy
I want you to know you can tell
me anything
And I want you to be proud of me.
And so, my son,
I wanted to put on paper
These feelings I feel in my
heart
These wonderful feelijngs you've given to me
A bond that can't be
torn apart.
As I write this, you're only four
But someday you'll
be able to understand
How much you are loved and wanted
I know
you're growing into a special young man.
I love you
unconditionally, Geoffrey
And there is nothing anyone can say or do
To
change the way I feel about
The BEST part of my life...YOU!!
Love,
Mommy
