My only child, whom I love
Angels sent you from above
As pure to me as a white dove
A happiness I knew not of
Every day your shining face
Showed me love I could embrace
My heart and soul it interlaced
To never move from it's place
We really did have lots of fun
You and I, little one
I never wanted it to be done
Every moment in the sun
Although we were torn apart
For a while, for your part
You loved me still in you heart
And faith, in me, you did impart
Yours is love,the greatest gift
And it does, my spirits lift
Though there was an enormous rift
You never from my heart did drift
You never failed, my loving child
To show to me your caring mild
Your angel face that always smiled
And many kisses upon me piled
And now that you are fully grown
The memories that I do own
Seeds, that in my heart were sown
Of happiness that we have known
And even though I reminisce
Of times, I feel, that I did miss
Or of you was, perhaps remiss
These you tenderly dismiss
Your everything a child should be
I truly feel your love for me
And in you myself I see
Everything good of some degree
And I do know as time goes on
As surely as there will be dawn
That even after I am gone
Your love for me will live on
