I love you more than words can express
this puts my heart in quite a distress
don't think the world can comprehend
how this type of love can transcend
through birth, space, and time - unrelenting
my love for you is never ending
when you are hurting I am breaking
when you cry I try to be uplifting
those first tears had brought me to my knees
small and soft– it gave my heart a squeeze
I will always be there to hold your hand
and if you fall, I will help you stand
you are my baby, my son, my friend
I will be here to depend and defend
I hope you realize I never gave up anything
for you are my life, my everything
your smiles, laughs, and kisses are treasures
that can bring me no greater pleasure
your pouts, shouts, and no fairs are reminders
that the world is full of blunders
to watch you grow is a gift -
one I'll never want to give back
