A Mother Knows Her Son
By Michele Meleen
My dear, sweet boy
I've seen it all
from your first kicks
to your first kiss.
You might think right now
you know it all,
but I've seen more of you
than you ever knew.
A Mother knows her son
better than anyone ever could
because I gave you life
and help you shine your light.
We Go Together Like Mother and Son
By Michele Meleen
Peanut butter and jelly,
moon and star,
these iconic pairings
can't compare to what we are.
We go together like mother and son
a match made in heaven.
We're stuck together
whether you're seven or eleven!
When two things fit
like the Earth and the sun,
they can only be
mother and son.
Son, I Owe All My Gray Hairs to You
By Kelly Roper
I had brown hair when you were born,
But that didn't last very long.
I owe my gray hairs to you, my boy,
And I'll remind you how I got each one.
Those gray hairs at my temples
All came from the time you went fishing
In your Daddy' expensive saltwater tank,
And some of those fish are still missing.
Those gray hairs along my hairline
Are not highlights I got from my beautician.
They appeared when you tore through the neighbor's garden
Like you were on a search and destroy mission.
That smattering of gray you see
Growing right out of my crown
Is a souvenir I got from that wedding
Where you hurled on the bride's fancy gown.
They say gray hair is a mom's badge of honor,
And that may very well be true,
But I wouldn't trade them for all the world,
If it meant one less second with you.

I love you son
Like no one else
Only you and I
Verified love personified

Moment I'm with

Nourishes your soul
I'd Choose You Again, Son
By Kelly Roper
I may not be your mother by birth,
But you're my true son in my heart.
I chose to create this bond with you,
And no one can tear it apart.
I couldn't love you more even if
I had carried you in my own womb.
My heart's bursting at the seams with love,
And there simply isn't any more room.
I bless the woman who gave you life
And let you come to our family.
If I had to do it all over,
I'd choose you again as the son for me.

Wishes for My Son
By Michele Meleen
If wishes were like seeds
on a dandelion in the yard,
I blow mine out on a breeze
for Mother Nature to safeguard.
I'd wish for my son
to be happy and free
like the bright burning sun
or a bird in a tree.
I'd wish for my son
to feel safe and loved
like man when life had begun
and the angels up above.

as a gift of love
and forgive me whenever I'm wrong.

From Kindergarten to Graduation
By Kelly Roper
I remember the sunshine that morning
When I took your little hand in mine.
Together we walked those few blocks to school
Where you went for the very first time.
I remember the unsure look on your face
As we entered the classroom door.
You tightened your grip on my hand because
You'd never been to school before.
I smiled at you to show it was okay,
And took you to meet your new teacher.
She told you it was going to be a great day,
But I don't think you really believed her.
I gave you a hug, we said our goodbyes,
And I walked toward the door to leave.
I looked back to see there were tears in your eyes,
And you wiped them away with your sleeve.
I worried the hours away that first day
Wondering how you were getting along.
Were you making friends, did you eat your lunch?
What if something had gone wrong?
The sad boy I left in the classroom
Wasn't the boy who met me at the school door.
You were grinning as you happily told me
You wouldn't be afraid of school anymore.
Now I'm here at your college graduation,
Remembering that long-ago day.
You've grown from a boy to an educated man,
And I'm prouder of you than I can say.
To My Son on His Wedding Day
By Kelly Roper
When I watch you on the altar today
As you take vows with your new wife,
Just know my heart's so filled with love,
As you embark on a brand new life.
Remember the lessons I've taught you
About respect, honor and faithfulness.
These virtues will guide and sustain you,
And ensure your marriage will be the best.
