Mother to son

I gave birth July 17th 2005 to my son. This I wrote for him.

you became,
I awoke.
the darkness died,
once you spoke.
I was dead,
alone inside.
then you smiled,
and I survived.
your laughter heals,
my tattered heart.
never want us
to be apart.
watch you learn,
watch you grow.
watch you cry,
when I say no.
for the first time,
I feel connected.
and it's real...
and it's pure...
it's love perfected.
