I love your sister before loving you!

You were not my firstborn child, that is so true.

But the last child I have is you.

I love you and I always do!

 

Watching you and your sister,

Growing together was a great accomplishment.

Loving you both,

Was my biggest achievement.

 

Son, forgive me leaving you so early at 4 years old.

I hope someday you'll understand.

You're sweet smiles always heal my pain.

Warmth my heart and soul completes my day.

 

I wish you courage and strength

To face some life challenges.

I will be there if you fall,

Hold your hand and help you stand tall.

 

You've been a blessing to us, it's real.

I can't promise to be here,

For the rest of my life.

I will protect you to the best I can.

 

I am so proud of how you've grown.

I may not carry you now in my arms,

I will always carry you in my heart.

I will proudly shout to the whole world,

You are my one and only son.

 

You are one of a kind!

You loved me as much as I do.

I can see and feel the respect in your heart.

I want you to shine bright like the sun.

 

There might things that help you strive.

Be my son as gentle and sweet as you are.

Never ever change for anyone.

Be brave and strong,

Be a Man of your own that you'll always be.
