Motherly Collective

They say your love will multiply,
And while I know that’s true
I simply cannot imagine
Loving anything the way that I love you

You were my first born baby
And from the very start
You taught me the act of motherhood
Is best done from the heart

From the moment that I saw you
I knew that we would be 
Our very own special duo
A true, dynamic team

We’ve grown a lot together
You taught me how it’s done
And while I strive to do better
You show me I’m enough with one small, simple hug

All the lessons you have taught me
The things that I have learned
Will certainly prove of value
As together we make this turn

Each day with you I’ve cherished
And I want you to know
That though the days ahead may change
My love will only grow

For you were always first, sweet boy
My very own special start
And for that you will forever have
A special place inside my heart
