A Son’s Blessing
Dear Mommy,
To see the strength and courage you have,
The passion and discipline it takes…
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
The tender, love and care you provide,
Makes my heart beep and my blood stride…
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
To the ups and downs, to the sorrows and cries,
To be a mother for her son is the best you can provide…
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
From teaching me what’s right from wrong,
To missing me when I’m long gone…
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
From our arguments and disagreements,
To your hugs, kisses and medicine treatments…
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
For raising a boy to a man then to turn around
And do it again…
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
As you took care of me,
Soon it will be my turn to take care of you…
What son could ask for more when all his love and pain
Is absorbed into his mother’s heart.
As I close my eyes to pray…I thank god
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU.
