In the quiet dawn of this special day
A mother’s heart in a bittersweet sway
Her son, now twenty, steps into new light
No longer a teenager, his future bright
The gift is wrapped with a mother’s care
Placed in his bin, a moment to share
Longing to celebrate, to see his grin
But for now, a poem her love pinned
Each year a tapestry, woven with thread
Moments of joy, of tears, of words unsaid
A journey together, through highs and lows
A garden of memories, where love grows
From first steps taken to dreams pursued
A mother’s love, steadfast and imbued
In every heartbeat, in every sigh
She watches him spread wings to fly
The years have flown, swift as the wind
Leaving echoes of the boy within
Yet now a man, his future untold
Wrapped in potential, in stories unfold
So, here’s a poem, a gift of verse
Tenderly crafted, a mother’s converse
Placed in his bin, a token of love
Guiding him onwards, to skies above
Today is my son's 20th birthday. Having a rough day. I just miss him so much.
