I felt you flutter within my womb
The future pure no slight so cruel
Dreams forever bursting through
Never will be done to you
I watch you grow so near to me
A step beside a shadow be
Tiny breath heart beating
Damp Curls laughter seeping
I see the growth of every inch
Your fingers toes I wish to pinch
The joy the pain of stepping forward
Possibilities yet uncovered
I feel you break as life comes tumbling
Your hands retreats your eyes shut down
The only way is forward running
To test yourself remove the frown
I watch you turn to all the dangers
The simple pill of ecstasy
To hide behind the cloak of anger
Listen to them and not to me
I see the path we must together
Slowly building day by day
To courage strength we must remember
My son forever I can but say
