Love Mom

(my son was killed by a drunk driver/please don't drink and drive)

it's a quarter past midnight

the date is july 31st

it's your birthday

you would be 35

if you were still alive

my heart is heavy laden

tonight as i write

so i guess i shall remonise

you born at 5:10am

i remember the night was hot

as i lay awake tossing and turning

trying to sleep but my back kept aching

about 2am the pains came

it felt as though my lower spine was breaking

the pains they came in rushes

i was staying at my aunt and uncle's house

the day you made your arrival

they rushed me to the hospital just in time

my uncle was running redlights

i kept saying "hurry, please hurry!"

uncle said "i'm driving as fast as i can!"

i was an unwed mother at the time

you were my first born child my son

the nurse she was not very kind to me

she left me to fend for myself

when i needed her most

but the doctor he was a nice man

funny, i wanted him there to hold my hand

but he said " i have to deliver your baby"

with a smile upon his face

then you were born

a perfect little boy

with all of your fingers and toes intact

blue eyes and a cute little pug nose

they cleaned you off and wrapped you in a blanket

and placed you ever so gently into my waiting arms

i've always loved you and i always will

even unto the end of time

"happy birthday sweetheart, love mom"
