Jonathan, my littlest pride and joy
When I first saw you I was glad I had a boy.
I hope you take your time to grow up
For it won�t seem long that you�ll drink from a cup.
I love to hold you because you �suckle,�
But in no time you will learn to tie and buckle.
Your little hands and little feet
And eyes as blue as the sky,
There were many nights while carrying you
I would lay and cry.
Wondering when you would get here
And what you would be,
And realizing what you learn
And know will be up to me.
So young and innocent you�re like a piece of clay.
I can mold and shape you in any kind of way.
As you get older and you learn to walk,
You�ll learn to do things and learn to talk
I want you to learn the right ways to go,
When to say �Yes� and when to say �No.�
I�ll always want the best for you and your brother,
And I�ll try my best to be a good mother�
I promise.
Mommy
