My Son

My Son

 

You didn’t grow inside of me

I wasn’t there when you were born

But my heart has attached itself to yours

And my love for you has been sworn

 

I’ve watched you grow from baby to boy

Falling more in love every day

Those big and beautiful, golden eyes

Easily getting your way

 

You may not have my lips or nose

You may not have my smile

But I see you watch me all the day

Absorbing my quirks all the while

 

I love you no matter what you do

No matter where you choose to go

You walked right in and captured my heart

Just how much you’ll never know

 

People may say that we’re not the same

Our kinship has been said and done

But you called me ‘Mommy’ of your own accord

And you’ll always be my son

The last two lines in that stanza lacked syllables... try adding on a few words ...
otherwise, fantastic write.

Quite nice piece this is. Would go very well in a family house painting. Like perhaps a family portrait or some type of grand portrait and include this as an inscription. Excellent write.

I'm sure one day he'll grow up and read this somewhere,
and know his mom loves him (:

That was so beautiful. Wow. You are amazing. That was so touching and it was just... all around gorgeous poem. Fantastic Job!

absolutely beautiful. The dedication alone is heartwarming, but you've made a very well written piece here as well. The flow and the beauty of the piece is really just perfectly interwoven within this whole piece. You didn't have to use rhyme, and you didn't have to force your words because they flowed very very well.

Very very nice work, absolutely beautiful!

This was truly beautiful.

Amazing and inspiring. I am adopted and could only dream of feeling loved as much as you love your son. I am a mom and know what it is to feel this kind of unconditional love for my children.
