MY CHERISHED SON

Worth the searing pain
Worth the fight to breathe
Here’s my baby boy
Lying next to me
~~*~~
Affection, passion, pure emotion
Allegiance to a fierce devotion
Unbridled pride, love intensified
Two lives derived from one
I give you
My cherished Son
~~~* ~~~
Oh the glory of
Such strength of love
A bond that endures all time
Two lives from one
My cherished son
Adoration unconfined
This is my love defined
Son of mine
~~*~~
Worth the sacrifice
To give him what he needs
Here’s my little boy
Walking next to me
~~~*~~~
Worth conflicting minds
Struggle through the teens
Here’s my handsome son
Strutting up to me
~~~*~~~
Affection, passion, pure emotion
Allegiance to a fierce devotion
Unbridled pride, love intensified
Two lives derived from one
I give you
My cherished Son

~~*~~
Yes, I give to you, an actual piece of me
Once held to my breast
Terror and pride battle deep inside
Sure to break free from my chest
More than a Mother should have to shoulder
I give you
A Soldier
~~*~~
