You Are My First Born Child

My son, my sweet dear child,
You will never understand 
How important you are to me.
It is a difficult situation I know.
But you should not have escaped from me.
I am still your mother.
I love you with all my heart.
You have to understand that.
Believe me I would have told you
When you attained maturity.
Yes, you are my adoptive child.
Have I ever shown you lack of respect?
Where your three brothers ever gain
A greater favour than you?
I treated you all the same.
Yet your adoption was necessary.
It was the advice of a doctor
That made us adopt you.
I had no children of my own
And was very depressed.
I needed a child of my own.
You were chosen not left on a doorstep.
And suddenly I conceived.
I was not expecting it.
I have treated you all the same level. 
You will not suffer for it.
Please come back home.
Even your father is worried.
You are our first born no matter what.
Your real parents were accidentally dead.
So now this is your true family.
Please, please come home.
I love you too much to lose you.
