Poem For My Boys Poem by Jenny Santiago

The first time I say your little face,
I understood the term morning grace.
You were encapsulated in my heart,
From that moment I never wanted to be apart.

The first time I heard you cry,
My entire being wanted to die.
I did not know what to do,
For my little angel looked so blue.

The years passed by and I watched you grow,
But there was something I did not know.
Time passes by so fast,
But I wanted time to last.

My boys this can't be done,
As time waits for no one
When I look at you today,
It is with pride and joy that I say.

What and who you have become,
Can never be undone
You are dear and kind,
And will leave a beautiful legacy behind.

What else can I say?
Only that I pray.
And thank God for his grace,
Giving thanks for the first day I saw your little face.

I love you with my soul and heart,
May we never be apart.
This mother of yours loves you so,
It breaks my heart for one day I must let go.
For your future is yours to start,
But remember you have half of my heart.
