Son Poems

I never want this to go unsaid,
So here in this poem is for it to be said.
There are no words to express how much you mean to me,
A son like you, I thought could never be.
Because the day you were born, I just knew,
God sent me a blessing - and that was you.
For this I thank Him every day.
You are the true definition of a son, in every way.
It is because of you that my life has meaning.
Becoming a mom has shown me a new sense of being.
I want you to know that you were the purpose of my life,
Out of everything I did, it was you that I did right.
Always remember that I know how much you care,
I can tell by the relationship that we share.
For a son like you there could be no other,
And whether we are together or apart,
Please do not ever forget,
You will always have a piece of my heart.

To My Son,
I hope you know how much I love you so.
I might embarrass you from time to time
By giving lots of love and needless kisses,
But you need to know Mom loves you so.
Before you were born I didn't know
Just how much I would love you so,
But when I looked into your eyes for the first time,
I felt my heart grow and grow.
A Mother's love is hard to explain,
Not everyone will feel the same.
Now that you are getting older I felt the need to tell you
Just how much I love you so.
Time may pass day after day or year after year,
But the love I have for you grows
nearer and dearer to my heart each day and year.
To my son, I hope you know just how much I love you so.

Through my eyes
All I see
Is a perfect little boy
Staring back at me

To the world outside
He may seem broken
But our love, our bond
Remains unspoken

He has few words
But his actions speak loud
My heart swells
He makes me so proud

He drives some mad
Fills the house with screams
But I see who he is
And he's not what he seems

You may see trouble
But I see love
He is my world
And the stars above

Don't judge my son
By what you see
You'd see his soul
If you looked closely

Oh, how the years go by.
Oh, how time can certainly fly.
From once just a thought in faraway dreams,
now into my arms and in my eyes gleam
the presence of you.
Your laughter and smiles,
which go on for miles,
warm my heart and soul.
You're growing up so fast,
as I wish each moment with you to forever last.
My little boy will someday be a man,
and right by your side I will forever stand.
I will pick up the pieces when you fall.
I will hold your hand and help you stand tall.
And when the day comes when you are on your own,
never feel that you are alone.
No matter how near or far apart,
I am always right there in your heart.
Always remember whatever you go through
that no matter what, I will always love you.

Often in unspoken words, connections are locked,
Creating foundations that can never be rocked.
Foundations of love, honesty, and truth!
Connect a friendship that started from youth!
Understanding and wisdom, in which we both share,
Bonding us stronger, with a strength beyond compare.
Talking and laughing, sharing our minds at heart!
Realizing it's a brand new start.
This start between us shall never part!
The love between us shall no barrier break!
For you, my firstborn are no mistake!

The memories we share, through loss and gain.
Are so much higher than the pain!

'THIS IS THE LOVE BETWEEN YOU AND I'

What I wish for you today and every day thereafter,
I wish for you the joys of life to come.
I wish for you that the life you lead may be praised by God for now and always.
I wish for you the knowledge to face life as it comes.
I wish for you hope and wisdom that I have instilled in you
to know the difference between right and wrong
I wish for you all the dreams and hope that you could ever imagine.
I wish for you love for everlasting life.

As your mother, I want what's best for you
and want to see good in all that you do.
I would like you to take this advice and understand
that even though you are now a man,
in life you have to make a plan.
I would like for you to sit and decide
who you really are inside.
I want you to ask yourself, "Where do I plan to be a few years from now?"
and then make that plan to do it somehow.
This question you may have to toss around in your mind
as it may take you some time
for you to feel the answer you want to find.
This answer should come from your heart.
Family and friends should take no part.
They should not influence you in any way.
Then your life, as you know, it will be taken away.
I want you to be true to yourself,
and I will be there "only to guide you" if you need any help.
Always remember that life is what "you" make it,
so please do not forsake it,
and when the answer comes
and you know who "you" are and what person "you" want to become,
I will stand by your side
on whatever you decide.
All this is important for you to understand,
as your life just began
and if you never take my advice again,
let it be known...
"life can never go wrong...when you are a man of your own."

To my first born son, eldest of four
Whom I've always loved and adored
You're such a good son, and also big brother
You've always made me proud to be your mother

From the moment I knew you existed
The love that I felt for you could not be resisted
The elation that I felt as you grew in my womb
The joy I felt in my heart as I started to bloom

From the first time you kicked your Dad in the ear
Until the glorious day you actually appeared
Upside down and much quicker than planned
You changed my life that instant, you understand

Becoming a parent was scary from the start
You hope you do the right thing by following your heart
You give your love and guidance each and every day
Hoping to raise your children the best possible way

But you never receive any specific guarantee
That they'll turn out exactly as you want them to be
You pray that you've influenced them positively each day
In decisions they make, what they do, what they say

You hope and you pray that you've done everything right
But you never know the outcome, not just overnight
So you share in their lives, through the ups and the downs
And try to support them and always be around

So while raising you I tried to do the best that I could do
I don't know exactly what I did to deserve you
But I definitely must have done something right
Because having you for my son has been pure delight

I'm so very proud of the wonderful man you've become
(Hopefully, contributed in part by something I have done)
I hope that my love and guidance has played a small part
I know the most important part comes straight from your heart

You've grown to become a respectable and honorable man
Who is there for friends and family whenever he can
Your love and respect is something I'll always treasure
Having you for my son is one of my life's pleasures

I'll always be there for you in any way that I can
That won't ever change, even now that you're a man
You're my flesh and blood, an important part of my life
And will forever be, even when you have a wife

When that day comes, I wish you all the best
I look forward to watching you create YOUR family nest
Raising children of your own, you'll be a great Dad
To share in YOUR family will make me quite glad

So as you grow living your life your own way
I wish you much love, happiness, and good health each day
You deserve a full life and bright future up ahead
But keep in your heart all the things that I've said

I will always cherish the pictures and memories of you
Through infancy, adolescence, and manhood you grew
But what I'll cherish the most are the feelings deep in my heart
The bond that I share with you even when we're apart

So feel my love with you each and every day
Even those days that you are so far away
May it give you courage and strength, if that be required
Or may it comfort and hold you, if you so desire

May it help you overcome any obstacle in your way
Or simply just be there for you from day to day
I know you're as strong and as tough as they come
So you be extra careful and come home to your MOM

I miss my son
who used to be
who cared about himself
and his family

Never one to show his
feelings openly
He was always there
When I needed him to be

We have been through
so much over the years
Anger, joy and so many
tears

I know I didn't always
do the right thing
and
was not always good
at mothering

I knew that I could never
go back and
fix all the wrongs
So I worked very hard
to set a new track

I tried to show you
the sunshine
and hope
and how great life can be
When you take it on
soberly

But when it came your
turn to choose
you chose the path
without any rules

I know it's dark
and it will
empty your soul

But always remember
You can still come
HOME

No amount of gold could ever compare to the gift of love that my son shares.
I've been blind and I couldn't see that all the love I've wanted is right here in front of me.
He gives me reason to get through another day.
Maybe it's how he loves me in his special little way.
And when it gets hard for me to sleep at night....
He wraps his little arms around me and says God will make things right!
From sweet gentle touches to his bear hugs and a kiss...
He makes this hell on earth seem more like a peaceful bliss.
That great big kool-aid smile and the twinkle in his eyes....
Every time I look at him it makes me want to cry.
But they're not tears of sorrow; they're tears of pride and joy....
To know that all the love in heaven is wrapped around my little boy.

Little boys
Everyone said Boys are difficult.
They are alien creatures,
Difficult to manage
And impossible to understand.
Well I agree.
They are like a ball,
Can't stay still.
They give you mini heart attacks
Each time they go out and get hurt.
They are naughty,
They are noisy,
They are wild!
But nobody told me
How I would feel,
When this bundle of energy
Would come running
And smother me with their force.
Or when this stubborn creature
Sneaks up from behind,
kiss you and run away laughing.
Or when he would say innocently
"mumma when I grow up
I'll marry you!"
Little boys are like rain,
rain that soaks you up with
Their unconditional love.
Yes they are difficult!
But isn't it worth it
When they cuddle with you
And go to sleep,
Making you feel like the
most important person in their lives?
They say boys are yours
Until they get married.
Having them for a quarter of a century,
Isn't it better than not having that love at all!
To my bundle of joy and energy
Happy birthday!

Sleep now, my child,
Let mother hold your fears.
At rest, good night, dream wild.
Fast asleep the visions piled,
Some funny, some with alligator tears.
Sleep now, my child.
Gypsies, and dragons and monsters galore,
They stamper thought his mind as if an open door.
Sleep now, my child.
A beautiful creation so strong and free,
Who would believe he is of his father and me.
At rest, good night, dream wild,
Full of imagination, life, and joy,
The world could be a bubble in the dreams of a boy.
At rest, good night, dream wild,
Sleep now, my child.
