For My handsome son

As I looked at you today
and saw the same beautiful eyes
that looked at me with love
when you were a baby
I looked at you today
and saw the same cheeky mouth
that made me cry when you first smiled at me
when you were a baby
It was not long ago
that I held you in my arms
long after you fell asleep
and I just kept rocking you
all night long
I looked at you today
and saw my handsome boy
no longer a baby
but a beautiful little boy
with a full range of emotions and feelings
Every day is exciting
as I continue to watch you
And I want you to always know that
in good and bad times
I will love you
and that no matter what you do
or how you think
or what you say
you can depend on
my support, guidance
friendship and love
every minute of every day
I love being your mother
Even from afar

I take in comfort in the fact that you have reunited with your fatherI leave in his care in confidence that you grow up to be a very important person in his life and that of your brothers.
