From a Mother to Her Son (An Everlasting Love…)

Dear Son,

Nearly three years ago, Life was birthed through me. God being a Man of his word definitely bestowed me with a beautiful gift, YOU. And I believed then as I still do now, that His promise to never forsake us is what allows me to love you, raise and provide for you, and to cherish you. I had never experienced a Love as such before. The Love I have for you starts deep within. It is a type of Love that grows every minute of every hour of every day. From the first time I heard your heart beating, I realized that what I do from this moment forward plants footsteps for you to follow. My son, you are not just a boy bearing a name. You are significant which was signified through your delivery. You crossed over into the realms of Earth from the protections of a mother’s womb and a Father’s life support. Though it is only one of us able to carry this load of responsibility, I promise that God has equipped me with the tools needed, the right people present and the mentality to persevere. In the eyes of the world, you aren’t supposed to make it; in the eyes of your mother, you will make it. This Love I have for you is an Everlasting Love. When put to the test, it always prevails. My Son I work hard so you can be a child in play. My son I cry long so you instead can laugh without hesitation. My son I pray daily so you can be covered for eternity. It was because of you I changed my ways. It was because I you that I grew into a determined woman overnight to raise her son right. When I look at you I am overcome with joy. On a lost day, My Son, you light up the way. And it is this that reminds me why you and I are here. Each new day is better than the last; it grants yet another time to shower you with more hugs, more kisses and more Love. An Everlasting Love is one that goes on and on, never ending, never quitting. In me, Son, you will find security and peace knowing that what we share is a Love of eternity. It is Everlasting….

 

I Love You Always,

Your Mother
