My Special Angel

A sparkle; a twinkle appeared in my eye,

as he moved in my womb I smiled and sighed,

a miracle of life would soon transpire

this sweet gift from God lifted my soul even higher

A son was to come and bless my young life

I hoped not to give him a life full of strife,

I prayed on high he would grow up to be

a wonderful man , so happy and free

So handsome, so kind, so special indeed

I hoped to give him all he would want and need

all that I had and more that I could

bestow on my angel to make his life good

He came into this world one October night

I pushed as I prayed with all of my might,

and into his dark wondering eyes I could see

an angel of magnificence gazing back at me

I watch him grow, experience and learn

the trials he encountered; and prides that he earned

as life’s happy moments shined on his face

I’d smile inside and thank God for his Grace

My precious little angel is now a man

I try to protect him the best that I can

the miles between us wear hard on our hearts

but those sweet moments in life we impart

Through phone calls, emails and a prayers sent above

we keep that connection of a Mother and son’s love

through happiness, trials and hardships and strife

we will always remain in each other’s life

He’s a man who is loving, caring, and giving

each time we speak I give a prayer of thanksgiving

He makes me proud everyday you see

It’s not his fault he is stubborn like me

He is funny and bright, intelligent and witty

he gives and helps others around his home city

whenever someone else is ever in need

he drops all he’s doing and helps with God Speed

I’m proud of the man that my son has become

A man , god’s helper, and best friend to some,

eighteen, thirty five or even one hundred and three

He will ALWAYS be my special angel to me!
