Note to my son

NOTE TO MY SON

WHEN I SAW YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME
THE PRETTIEST FACE EVER SEEN

MY SON, YOU ADORNED MY PALM
AS I FETCH YOU CLOSE TO MY CHEST
THAT MOTHERHOOD BORNE IN ME
AND THE HAPPINESS YOU SHOWERED
MY SON, YOU MELTED DOWN MY CRUSTS
AS YOUR "MOM" GAVE ME THE BEST

I'VE SEEN YOU STRUGGLE AS A TODDLER
PICKED YOU EVERY TIME YOU FALL
I'VE WATCHED YOU DELIGHTING THE RACE
IN THAT TINY PRAM PA BROUGHT HOME
I'VE BEEN A MATE TO YOUR TEEN
PROTECTED YOU FROM BRAWL
I'VE GIVEN MY LIFE TO PAVE YOUR PACE
DEAR SON, 
SO YOU WON'T BE WHIFFED BY STORM.

WHEN I'LL BE GONE THE MORROW
YOU WON'T HAVE A CHEST TO HIDE IN
TO SOB ALL YOUR GRIEF OUT
NOR YOU'LL FIND A SHOULDER ROBUST
TO LAY YOUR HEAD ON
NO LAP TO LIE DOWN
AND FALL ASLEEP TO LULLABY
BUT MY SON, DARE YOU NOT WORRY
BECAUSE BESTOWING MY LOVE
TO PROTECT YOU FROM DEVILS
I'LL BE REACHING YOU VIRTUALLY
I'LL BREAK THE WALLS, FALL FROM HILLS
AND SIT NEXT TO YOU, SMILING AT YOUR VICTORY.
