When he gives you strength after a day of weakness 
Know that I cradled his fears and gave him grace 
When his mouth praises your worthiness and showers you with love 
Know that I taught him the words he uses to convey it 
When his hand holds yours through hard times 
Know that I held his when he couldn't even walk 
When he kisses your feet and the ground you walk on 
Know that I stayed up worrying most nights taking out the thorns in his feet 
When he shows you vulnerability and his fears 
Know that I told him it is ok to be brave enough to do so 
When his eyes look at you and smile 
Know that I gave him those too and they first smiled for me
