Sweetly in my arms I held you, never wanting to let go. Singing softly ‘till you slept, whispering, “God bless you, my little son.” I cradled you so softly, close above my heart. I stared at you for hours thanking God for you, my child. I still remember clearly when you took your baby steps. Saying your first words it’s a time I could never forget. The years gone by so quickly and you’ve grown so much since then. Soon you’ll be going to preschool and become more independent. I try to hold back my tears when I see how hard you try to do things on your own, it’s a pride I just can’t hide. To you, my little son, I whisper that my life could never be as happy as it is today knowing you’re a part of me. © Copyright, 2001 All Rights Reserved
