How I Remember You

I remember many things about the day you were born,

I remember you placed in my arms so small and so warm,

Just a little bit of nothing as there, you laid in my arms you laid,

5 lbs 10 oz was all that you weighed,

I could not believe the beautiful little boy we had made,

I remember the day you were born was the highlight of my life,

Never would anything compare to my feelings that day,

I vowed to protect you to my dying breath, come whatever may,

I carried you around like a football in my arm,

From my elbow to my wrist was all the length you had as I put your tiny feet within my hand,

Your Mom
