I learned a lot
when I had you,
Son of my youth, my child.
I found it possible
to love with a depth
That seemed fantastical, wild!
I met in the babe
that I held in my arms,
A friend I would have all my days.
I loved you and cherished
your fumbling steps,
Adored the smile on your face.
You taught me love in
its purest form,
The depth of it older that man.
The warmth that I feel
at the sight of my child,
Is beyond me.
I don't understand.
I watched you explore
all the world at your door,
Each animal, song,
soul and sound.
No one was spurned
in your conquests, Son.
Your love knew no measure,
no bounds.
From the fish in a bowl
that we two brought home,
To the stray cat
you petted and hugged,
You never held back
from committment then.
You gave everything,
all of your love.
I've watched you
as you have matured, Son,
And I've wanted
to say it with pride.
YOU are the father
I wish YOU had known,
To the children
you raise at your side.
My firstborn, my sweet
Gene-A-Bow-Bean,
My precious and
wonderful son,
Your mother would like
you to know it,
In counting her blessings
you're number one.
No greater love hath a woman for her son except for god's love for all and one.
