A Mother's Revelation

The day you were born

My life was changed forever

On that pain filled day

I learned the meaning of true love

When looked into your eyes I cried

My heart filled with overwhelming love

I'll hold you near

Try to relieve your fears

I'll hold your hand

Til you need me no more

Pick you up when you fall

Teach you how to walk tall

Be proud of who you've become

All these things for you my son

You taught me to love

Without fear of rejection

To have hope when all feels lost

Always to smile

Even when all I want to do is cry

To hold my head high

When all I can think of is death and loss

All through the days and sleepless nights

You taught me patience

You taught me to embrace the flaws

Love knows no cause

But its effects are felt by us all
