Do you know how important you are in my eyes? <br />You give me the strength each morning to rise <br />I didn't know you could love a child so much <br />Till I gave birth to you and felt your gentle touch <br />Through the years I've watched you grow into a fine young man <br />With a gentle heart full of love and a helping hand <br />Forgive me for the times that I've made you cry <br />I should have seen your pain, I didn't, I don't know why <br />Sometimes I think you grew up faster than me <br />But I did something right, for in the way you live, I can see <br />I pray that GOD blesses you with the best that life has to give <br />You deserve nothing less for the wonderful person you've become <br />It fills my heart with joy to hear you laugh and pray <br />There's so much more to tell you, I just don't know how to say <br />My precious son I love you more than you'll ever know <br />I hope that through my actions, somehow it really does show<br /><br />Pamela O.
