~ My Son Is Very Special ~
When I was young I knew some boys, who I thought so nice to know
And I tucked away a little dream of having one, all my very own
The years flew by, I married, bore, I kept my hope of you
As I gathered lots of baby things, especially in blue-
How great then was the joy, to have you on the way
So exciting was the wait, for your arrival day,
Then I cried, Oh you are a boy, as you came into my heart to stay
God has blessed me with His very best, a precious son to name.
Maybe I forget to say enough, now you have grown so tall
How special you have always been to me, I couldn't love you more-
If I may have found a son for me, no other one would do
Than the son God chose to give me, the beloved heart of you.

Spiritisup/My son is very special
You have always been so special in all the things you've said and done.
I am so very proud of you, as you are, not just because you are my son.

~ A Precious Gift ~
God sent the sweetest cherub
He put you in my arms, I looked into your eyes,
You gave away your charms, you are such a little treasure,
I can only sit and grin, for there in your sweet soul I see myself within.
For months I had been wondering what genes I would produce,
As you grew inside of me, what of me, break loose,
Would you get my sense of humour, or funny little toe,
Sweet delight in many wonders, or the way I walk, just so.
But you were just unique, with a bit of either gender,
You turned out, just yourself, as all went in the blender.
I loved you so, before you came, long before, for sure,
You are God's special blessing, His perfect gift out poured.
His grace has grown you strong, you're resplendent in His hue,
Glowing with eternal love; His life alive in you.
With beauty, you will journey on, walking in pure joy
In the beauty of the Son...
I trust for you, a safe pathway; because for you I pray.

that our God will make you the kind of children, He wants to have and by His power may fulfill every
desire for goodness and every act inspired by faith.

~ God Gave My Son ~
God gave me a special son, who could become a friend,
From His all knowing heart, His very best He sends.
He knew that son to me, would a caring hand extend,
From a strong yet tender heart and a love that never ends.
I thank God for all you are, my son I'm glad for all you tend,
Every day I see His love in you, true as the purest gem.
God bless you my dear son
as you ever walk in Him.

~ Sons Are Wonderful ~
These words I choose, to send today, for you overflow my heart,
Never ending every thought of you, and all you always are.
Yes, my son is just so wonderful, a gift from God divine,
And this love will be forever, when heaven's yours and mine.
I held you close when you were little, but your Mum I'll always be,
Beyond mere words, the pride I bear, of the man, that I now see.
Courageous in your bearing, handsome in your soul,
Beautiful of heart and mind, your precious life in God unfolds.
I can't begin to thank you, for all you mean to me,
But, somehow you just know, by the tears that you see.
I'm glad there is a special way, your love I'll always keep,
For love in God will never end, and that is joy complete.
I thank God for you sweetheart, every day in every way

~ A Poem For You ~
If I was sitting down to write a poem to you today
I would search my heart to find the words I'd really like to say
From the moment of your birth, you've been the treasure of my heart
You are my son, my dearest one, the best, that heaven could impart
No greater joy my life could bring, than to give my life away
For all I give, is all I have, my heart of love, this very day

~Precious Little Son~
God gave you to me dear, a little baby for my heart,
Set within my loving arms, with the love He would impart.
I thank God for the wonder, the sweetness of His grace,
To give to me your precious smile, aglow upon your face.
I thank God for the miracle, this wondrous gift for me to know,
To joy in every memory, building as our own.

It is always a most, blessed, lovely day, when you're on my mind the more,
Feeling sentimental memories, of how you are and all.
So, when I see something you would like, I ponder, my Son will sure like this,
Some delicious cookies, a new shirt, with a loving hug and kiss.
Thank you, for another year of caring, being the special son you are,
You are such a precious blessing, treasured in my heart.
God bless you today and always, whether near or far.

~ With You As A Son ~
To have a dear son aspires love to come, more than I knew... much more than enough.
To know a dear son engenders a giving, more than I knew... could ever be given.
To be blessed with a son ordains a receiving, more than I've known... or could be believing.
With you as my son destines this ever true, through me, to the world...
God gave you, so beautiful.

~My Forever Son~
A forever son will be a loving friend, when summer's heat is done
He will be forever true, because he'll always love
Such a son remains when Autumn falls, for winds can never blow away
The kindness of that special son, that cheers the heart each day
A forever son will glow with gentle warmth, when winter's snow has come
For, when life is at it's coldest, he brings a greater love
A son as this will be the sweetest, in the joys of pretty spring
To share his kindness every day, from love that grows within
A son as such, will be as you, through every season's birth
For you are one who truly knows, what eternal friendship's worth

~ Like Father, Like Son ~
A little boy's role model, is the father that he sees,
Who he will copy, emulate, and in those ways believe.
Ah, what then, sweet delight, to watch that little heart,
Grow in those manly ways, that a father will impart.
In the strength of muscle, power, lithe and quick to dare,
Confront a task with courage, a mighty problem bear.
To lead and conquer, battle, protect, and intercede,
A man's ways are for men, to meet our daily needs.
Thank God for all the fathers, who watch-care every day,
To over-see his dear ones, and rise to face each day.
God bless, each special father, who lives integrity,
To lead his son and family wisely, into eternity.

~ My Heart Prayer ~
God blessed me with the sweetest gift, a child within my soul,
With the call to love you so, to help you grow completely whole.
So I nurtured you in tenderness, in the heart of God above,
That you'd blossom in God's way, while cradled in His love.
That time would come, when God would say, His loveliness you wear,
That is my parent prayer, that your life be thus prepared.
That His wondrous work be shown to you, by all I had to do,
So in God's grace, one day, to heaven you will go, created soft and true.
That in loving God with all your heart, your life be turned His way,
To keep you safe in all earth's pain, that Jesus be your strength and stay.
I prayed, by faith, you'd see the plan, of what God did, that you be spared,
That great would be your sorrow, to see our Saviour broken by sin's care.
Then you'd weep long in your loss, to know the comfort of His love.
And as years roll by, you'll know, in God alone there is enough.
So when I go and leave an emptiness, your love for God, is more,
My gift, to draw your heart to heaven, for the reunion we long for.
I leave behind God's preciousness, the sweetness of His grace,
So you will smile beneath your tears, dreaming...love upon your face.
My life can hold no greater joy, than bearing an eternal child,
For God to hold you in His arms forever, in His beauty glorified.
Dear Lord, hold my darling close,
with the love that gives us all the wings to fly.

This is what The Lord says, I will return to Zion..then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth...
The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.
They will be like a well watered garden, and they will sorrow no more.
Then maidens will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness.
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

I thought of you today, would there come a day I never could
Songbird of my heart, joy that you impart
My son so kind and good... I prayed for you this morning, just as I usually do
Such loveliness God needs to bless- one beautiful as you.
I smiled of you then later, when something I recalled,
Your gentleness, sweet thoughtfulness and then I grinned some more.
I walked with you this moment, in the sunshine's soft delight
Where love belongs, we wandered long and talked of all we liked
I sat with you the longest while, to share eternity,
The birds they sang as friendship rang, oh, my day was such a treat.

All of God's peace within, will reflect back to overflow
as the goodness of God you hold bursts forth in joy,

as your heart beats unceasingly for another, to impart
the eternal love you know,
as you give away the song within your heart

In this world of toil and trouble, we sure need each other's care,
Things can change so very much, it's comforting to know you're there.
You're there when days are good and even when they're bad,
You're there when I feel like laughing, or when I'm feeling sad.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need - expressed outwardly or inwardly.
God sends them to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
They may seem like a Godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

~ A Secret From My Heart ~
There's a secret very special, we are learning every day,
It is all about the waiting, to be shown a better way.
Most usually in life we find, God has a different plan,
And it's usually upside down, to the one we understand.
For we think that joy is found, when life is free from pain,
But, God says there's another way, for us to know pure gain.
It is only in the school of grief, deep in the dark of night
We learn the comfort of real trust, and find re-newing light.
For somehow when we're still and cannot even sing,
To our craving, lonely heart, a new song God will bring.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers...That perches in the soul...
And sings the tune without the words...
And never stops......at all.

~ Beary Lessons ~
Aw, if I do have to learn ya so much more, what sweet stuff would we choose,
How shall ya learn about the loving, and how many hugs to use.
You don't want your backside walloped, beary black and blue,
So, I'll just tell you up front fuzzywuzzy, when sometimes you're untrue.
And you tell me if I growl too much, if you take too long a bath.
Tell me if I'm ragged round the edges and if my stories make you laugh.
And when you're all so beary sad, may I feel your trickling tears,
I'll be here to care and pray, when you're plodding through some fears.
If we ever tread on each others toes, we'll say sorry, wipe clean the slate.
But, please don't keep the grumps, if sometimes life is running late.
Work at being educated, to add and take and multiply,
Put on God's armour, keep your heart protected, so we all can celebrate
And in all good time, with honour you will graduate
(But I will never say goodbye.)

Mother bears-
Trained in warm hugs and story telling and cuddling on a rainy day.
Aw, if I do have to learn ya so much more, what sweet stuff would we choose,
How shall ya learn about the loving, and how many hugs to use.
You don't want your backside walloped, beary black and blue,
So, I'll just tell you up front fuzzywuzzy, when sometimes you're untrue.
And you tell me if I growl too much, if you take too long a bath.
Tell me if I'm ragged round the edges and if my stories make you laugh.
And when you're all so beary sad, may I feel your trickling tears,
I'll be here to care and pray, when you're plodding through some fears.
If we ever tread on each others toes, we'll say sorry, wipe clean the slate.
But, please don't keep the grumps, if sometimes life is running late.
Work at being educated, to add and take and multiply,
Put on God's armour, keep your heart protected, so we all can celebrate
And in all good time, with honour you will graduate
(But I will never say goodbye.)

~ Man Of The Year ~
When a special day draws near, my thoughts somehow turn to you
How great my admiration, for the caring that you do
My heart just glows with joy, to see the faithfulness you live
In hospitality, in God's strength and all the care you give
How precious is your tenderness, protection, fun and love
If I chose man of the year, then you would be The One
God bless you my dear Son

Poetry from the Heart
Your home is a canvas in which you paint the love and beauty of your heart
You embellish it with personal expressions, that reflect who you are
and what is important to you
Your home, tells your story and reveals your faith
When a special day draws near, my thoughts somehow turn to you
How great my admiration, for the caring that you do
My heart just glows with joy, to see the faithfulness you live
In hospitality, in God's strength and all the care you give
How precious is your tenderness, protection, fun and love
If I chose man of the year, then you would be The One
God bless you my dear Son

~ If My Son Lived In Paradise ~
I had a little boy God gave to me, I held him so close, forever to see
Yet, how blessed I'd be, if Jesus chose me, to bear Him a child, His heaven to see,
No more to suffer, no years to grieve,
If Jesus took him to live, where he truly should be.
If my son was in heaven, no more to fit here-
Then nothing of earth, would he hold dear, except those he loves and soon we'd be there,
To be with him always, that new life to share.
If my son went to paradise, then wouldn't I be so blessed
To know he is safe, so my heart then could rest-
That he'd be not left behind, to suffer so deep, to watch us all die, in heartbreak to weep.
I love him so much, I'd be glad he was swept...up into glory- forevermore kept-
For Jesus would hold me, His love is so sure, if my son was set free, from being my all.
I'd hold precious memory to keep in my heart, for my son lives in me, we never can part-
For I know all we've shared, is such perfect love,
so if out of sight, we'll always be one.
I have a secret smile, my son's joy's guaranteed
and no matter what happens, the son that God gave, I'll always keep.

Your greatest pleasure is that which rebounds from a heart that you have
made forever glad

~ The One That's In Command ~
My pride in you has no bounds for I see you as a winning man,
Whether the world may see or not, what matters is The God within
He is the one that's in command.
No one on earth can crush you, unless you give them sway,
No-one can by-pass or abuse, unless you let them lead your heart astray.
For it is the integrity of your heart, that makes you stand so tall,
That brings you satisfaction and peace within your soul
to give away your all.
The fire of God deep in your spirit, gives you the passion to love,
To not compete or be conceited, but humbly walk, to know that lasting reward above.
Your life is so precious, heart of God's heart,
The beauty you hold in your soul, that shines out to all,
Will take you on an upward path.
God bless and keep you strong and lift you on brave wings to fly,
What you are choosing to win
The truth that you hold within, is of eternal supply.
I love you my special guy.
