7 years ago I formed a bond with you
feeling you kick & move
excited with anticipation of meeting you.
Wondering if I'll see any traces of those that came before us.

No fear of failure, just a fresh start
Vowing to never give up & steer you down the right path.
Seeing mistakes of my past & all of their uncertainties.

Watching you on this journey called life, while you
travel the path of manhood.
Look at my young “king” as my sister would say.
Strong, Proud, & free to dream

Oblivious to the intentions of the world & the limitations set
I instill Love, Knowledge, & faith
Qualities that no one can ever take.

Your efforts, could never anger or disappoint me
wanna see you shine, even if that means in my own demise.

Tough love I say
to be both parents is indeed difficult.
Knowing how to sooth your pain & punish you.
Understanding that you must come into your own
I push you to think outside the box, fearing that I may crush your imagination with honesty.

With a sense of pride I say to you,
you can do anything you put your mind too.
Mind over matter
Glimpses of your pictures I see a fire that lies deep within
A light that would make any woman smile.
Dimples set so perfectly I know that you are created with purpose.
Your abstract way of thinking makes you unique
There could never be another you.
You were sent to me I'm sure of it.
My purpose, my light, my reason for everything do
with hopes that you will one day learn it's not how I dress
that defines me as your mother.
Instead it's the love & guidance I show you.
Hoping that you will find all the answers to your questions.
Eagerly applying them as you see fit.
And proud to say that you are my son.
