Angel of Mine

Dedicated to my son

When the nurse placed you in my arms
And I looked into those eyes
I knew from that moment on
That you were mine for the rest of my life.

Angel of Mine is exactly what it means.
You are my "precious little moment"
You came into my life and gave me joy.
God made no mistake or error when it comes to you in my eyes.

Through each day, you grow.
When I fall that Angel of Mine shows me, he sees no fault.
My angel is what you will always be.
My son is who you are and in you, I lay no blame.

If you err in some way, I will always remember that the angel of mine is human.
I will always think of my precious angel who not only has a heart but also feelings.

Your mistakes will not always be acceptable, but they will always be forgivable by me and learnable by you. I can only guide you so far through your life and I am learning life right beside you. I can only wish you the best and hope that everything will be what you want it to be.

Angel of mine is who you are for even when you are grown you will still always be my baby. I gave the strength that I have and gave all unto you. Take me in your heart and remember what you have learned from me. For I will not always be around when times are the most trying. For even mothers grow old and die. Just know I am with you
in heart, soul, and spirit.

Call upon me when things are ok, but don't think of not calling because you are afraid to be a bother. My child is exactly what you are and never in my life or yours will you ever be a bother. Call upon me when things are not right for I will always comfort you.

Do not be afraid to show me your soft side for a mother already knows every little detail of her children. Do not act tough because you feel you need to shield me from the truth. Mommy knows when something is not right.

Angel of Mine is the gift you bring unto me. When God made you and gave you to me he saw that we were made for each other and the lessons we would learn from each other.

Your smile brightens up my day. Your voice is something that I so long to hear. Your laugh is so jolly that I cannot help but smile and laugh too.

Keep me in mind before you go and do something you know is wrong. Think about how it will make your mother feel. It will hurt but I will still be there for you.
Mommy is always going to mommy when you need her.

I love you Angel of Mine!
