The Love of My Life

It came upon me one fine Wednesday morning

It came upon me without the slightest warning

I saw his face,

His little beautiful face

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

I held him so close we were like one

As his little life had just begun.

I cried a tear

A very special tear

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

I held him to my breast as he fed

And with my hand I stroked his little head

I sang him a song

A sweet, tender song

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life

As he learned to crawl then learned to walk

As he sweetly called my name to talk

I hugged him tight

With all my might

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life

When he went to school I held his hand and tried

So hard not to, but then cried and cried

To release the joy

The pure, tender joy

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

He scored his first goal when he was only seven

And I prayed to our special God in Heaven

That he would take care of my boy,

My precious little boy

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

He went on to college and at graduation

Recieved honors and got a standing ovation

I was so proud

So very, very proud

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

As he grew to be older he'd take care of me

And I'd feel so proud that everyone could see

He was my wonderful son

My loving wonderful son.

And I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

As I lay down to take my last breath

I knew in my heart I was facing my death

But with him next to me,

I knew he was next to me

I could face the end.

At that moment once again

As had happened again and again

I knew this would be

More than one could ever see

The love of my life.

From The Heart Of MaryJane

I can relate to this poem because when I had my son,

he was my first, and I can remember being totaly amazed

and I remember sitting there and looking at his fingers

and toes, and thinking my God did I do that? I'm sure many

of you will have memories brough back through here and I

hope they will be happy ones.

A gift to my son Alex The Love of my life.
