Dear Son, You Make Me

It’s been a really long time since I wrote something just for the sake of it.

I just stumbled upon this piece I wrote years ago, after one of those days where I looked at my son and realised how much becoming a mum had changed me.

FYI Zak is now 14, so this was written 9 years ago! I hope you enjoy.

You make me laugh,

You make me cry,

You make me teach,

When constantly asking “why?”.

---

You make me better,

You make me proud,

You remind me of me,

Especially when you’re being loud.

---

You’re so honest,

You’re so loved,

Sometimes I honestly think

You were sent down from above.

---

You love your family,

You love your friends,

You’ve touched so many people’s hearts,

Especially when they need a mend.

---

You’re so understanding,

You’re so mature,

Even though you’re only five,

You always want to know more.

---

You make me clean,

You make me pure,

And I can honestly say,

I’ve never loved anyone more.

❤
