Maternal
I fell in love with you both from the first moment I saw you
You were both so full of life, although his was brand new
You had such confidence
While he was still learning how to be in existence
You made promises; such beautiful words you spoke
In his amazing smiles my heart awoke
Was it all too fast?
Is that why it wasn’t meant to last?
I thought I had put my dreams on hold
Or was the real dream the one he told?
Without you, he would not be
For that, you will always mean everything to me
A greater gift you could not have given
Perhaps our road just wasn’t properly driven
Our destination was the gift
But our path, created the rift
Why did I put so much pressure on you?
You’re only human, doing your best to be true
He was perfect in my eyes
Even through his cries
I accepted him for who he was
But you, I chose to judge
So different love can be
Between a mother and son, or you and me
