smile
january 4th, 2000
i gave birth to a baby boy
so many years ago
from the day i laid eyes upon him
i knew i could never let go
born with a smile on his face
enough to light up the world
i knew this child was special
...but how would they know?
i raised him with love
always there when he needed a hug
there to care for him
he was my child, my pride and joy
but there comes a time
in every life
when change comes
to steal youth's innocence
was i prepared for it?
was he?
the child i once knew was torn from my arms
replaced with an adolescent hardened by life
he no longer knew love
only the world around him
the world i tried to protect him from
the world i fought my whole life
my arms are always open
i'll always be here for him
i gave birth to a baby boy
will i ever see him again?
will i ever see him smile?
