A Loving Message to My Mother
For a time determined only by God, my Father
He sent His most precious gift, for you to look after
He entrusted my flesh and spirit to your care
With all of your love, warmth and happiness to share
I came to you
With very special needs, both great and small
God heard your prayers and answered your call
My birth was celebrated in the bright Heavens above
Our hearts filled to overflowing, with everlasting love
I came to you
You touched my soul with caring tenderness
You filled my heart with love and happiness
My spirit soared and became one with yours
My reason to be could not ask for more
I came to you
