My Child

You are the only person
Who's heard the constant rhythm of my heart
You know how it sounds from deep within
That heart that loved you from the start

Never will a day go by
Without me loving you every minuet
A thousand years after the day I die
You will still be able to count on it

You formed and grew inside of me
I felt your every move and kick
Your face I couldn't wait to see
I loved the feeling of you even when I was sick

I pray I can be all the mom you need
I hope I never let you down
This is my promise and my creed
To do my best to never let you frown

My wish for when you are as old as me
Is that you and I are the best of friends
I hope that you are above all happy
And remember a helping hand is what mama lends
