True Love

To my son Eli. The day you came into my life is and always will be the best day i've ever had.

The tender strings yanked by a cry

my whole heart is held by tiny fingers

your kind of love is hard to come by

it's new, fresh; a love that lingers

your first breath took away mine

as a thousand emotions flooded my body;

together you and I stood still in time

my life, not mine, you now embody

never was a love that i did know

that would hold my heart on edge

that could stop my breath and make time slow

you are more than worth the blood i bled

I'd lay down again any day to have you here

I couldn't fathom my world without you

baby boy, i'll always hold you dear...

a mothers love is devotedly ever true
