So many things I want to say to my step-son!
Most of all, I want him to know that he is LOVED,
He is now, and always has been~~~~
There is no distance within a heart~~~~~~
For Brian~~~~
You were only seven when we first met,
When I married your Dad, didn't know I'd get
Four children I soon would feel were my own,
T' wasn't under my heart, but in it you'd grown.
Mere words expressed will never show
The pride I felt as I watched you grow.
Since first I saw your handsome face
No one could ever take your place.
Memories flood back of Curry street cats,
Cub Scouts, parades and grade-school spats
Church and Christ's Ambassadors,
Christmas programs,and so much more!
Tossing baseballs in the back yard,
Trying to hit the strike zone hard,
Baseball games and times at bat!
The home run I missed, I can't forget that!
The pie-eating contest that you won,
Your talent-show solo was middle school fun,
Your thirteenth birthday party pretty girls attended,
We didn't know it then; how soon it all ended.
Yet through those seven years, while you were in my care,
You dwelt in my heart, and you still reside there.
I wish with all my heart to find the words to say
I'm not your 'Natural' Mom, yet, never felt that way!
I failed you in so many ways,
I Wish I could call back those days
When my impatience and naivete caused you pain,
I know now that there was no gain.
The words we shared when last we met,
Are those that I shall NEVER forget!
The Bible says "raise up a child in the way he should go,
And he won't forget, when he begins to grow old."
My son, you are in my every prayer,
Praying Jesus WILL intercede in your cancer care,
Will give you His Peace and Faith to be strong,
Knowing wherever you go, Jesus walks along!
Trusting you to His Loving, Tender Care,
And if you ever need me, I will be there.
What I want you to know, all other things above,
God Bless and remember~~~~YOU ARE LOVED!
