The relationship of a son towards both his parents is very complex. A son will likely feel a close bond with his mother, yet see his father as an adversary and competitor. When a son sees how his father interacts with his mother he will either attempt to model his father's behavior or reject his father's example of relationships with women. From the parents' point of view, having a son can be one of the greatest joys they will ever experience but also one of the greatest challenges. Balancing the need to offer freedom to your son while placing appropriate boundaries may be an area of contention.
You're older now but just twenty-five
A young man with a boy still inside
I've helped you grow
And I'm humbled by what I see
A very special poem - you make it clear that family matters above all. Very best wishes, Ann.

Though Grandpa was a quiet man, he taught his lessons well.
He showed me ways to understand with stories I still tell.
The first time I had lost a game, he told me what to do.

Famous Poem
BEFORE you came, my little lad,
I used to think that I was good,
Some vicious habits, too, I had,
But wouldn't change them if I could.
Bullseyes and targets, marbles and darts.
Little green bugs and bicycle parts.
Frogs in their pockets, worms in their shirt.
A boy is a boy for all he is worth.
Through my eyes
All I see
Is a perfect little boy
Staring back at me
A poem of profound love, insight, dedication and patience, Steph. Mothers frequently bring out the best in us. All the best to you and your son. Kind regards, Paul.
The time has been too short-
the memories so dear.
Our pride for all you have become
Famous Poem
A father sees his son nearing manhood.
What shall he tell that son?
"Life is hard; be steel; be a rock."
And this might stand him for the storms
You came to the world,
On a God blessed night.
Your limbs were all there,
Your heart beat just right.
Thinking back through all the years
How swiftly they've passed by
I close my eyes and bite my lip
Try so hard not to cry
When I carried you inside me, I longed for a baby son.
My prayers were answered, my son, my one and only one.
They laid you in my arms, and I knew right away
That the love you and I would share
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.
I'll never forget the day I found out I was going to be a mommy. I was scared to death since I was only 16. I didn't know the first thing about being a mother. Then all that fear went away. I...
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,
My youngest is soon to turn 21 and I could not have said it any better. A wonderful tribute to a son.
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
My first born will be 22 in a couple of months. I thought for sure he would be home for a long time to be. I miss my son's face and laughter everyday. I get jealous when I hear someone...
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!
You were sent to me to save me (not just 1 little boy but also two little girls). Sent to me to set me free, free from the streets and free from the drugs that were starting to take over me....
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.
A newborn in my life that God has chosen for me! Oh my God a 7lb 3 once bundle of joy, this child, this blessing that the Lord has sent to me! The most precious of time, sleeping on my...
I miss my son
who used to be
who cared about himself
and his family
I was a single mother of one, my son who is now 29 years old (30 in September). This will be the first birthday that he and I will not be together because up until two years ago my son was a...
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.
There is no story here...I just wanted to say how much I appreciated this poem. I was feeling that I needed/wanted to say something special to my son who will be reaching his 40th birthday...
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,
You are NOT alone. Hold onto hope. Find peace in your heart. I lost 15 years and 3 weeks with my son. No contact, minimal updates. I was on a bad path, sent my son to his father (I wanted...
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
This poem had made me realize how beautiful it is to be blessed with a handsome child like mine.
