Today I Know

How my heart breaks as I watch you grow
I know that one day you will not need me
The time has went by so fast
All I can do is stand by, unable to stop moment

While you sleep in my arms
I think about the time you fit in the crook of my arm
Small an sweet
Now you are bigger
One whole year
Still as sweet as the day we brought you home

I hope you always know your mother’s love
If a the day should ever come that you question my love
G-D forbid…
All you’ll have to do is look and you will see it there
A reflection of the beautiful boy that will become a man

Never doubt that I now know what it is like to live
With my heart outside my body
And yes, painful, but it can be done
