My Son Eli

You came to me before I was ready I cried when I heard of your existence Over night my youth was gone Worried sick that I wouldn’t be good enough for you Clueless on what expect for the future Carrying you under my heart for 9 months long I knew that I love you I just never knew how much Then I saw your face Those beautiful brown eyes staring straight into mine My heart melted And I asked myself how can a person love someone so much that they just met But I did I love you more than life it’s self In that instant I knew my purpose on this earth was to protect you from all evil I would give my last breath to you I would kill for you I would steal for you The little keeper of my heart My ray of sunshine during a thunder storm So much joy have you given to me My life is meaningless without you I taught you how to walk and how to talk You taught me that life’s most precious gift is the love of a child Your smile gets me through tough times Your laugh is a symphony of music to my ears I dedicate my entire life to you I make I lot of promises that I can not keep but the absolute promise to love you till Lord stops my beating heart is one that is forever I was young and clueless Wondering around the word deaf and dumb Until the almighty sent you to me I am now wiser and understanding Selfless, patient and gentle You, my wonderful son, are the reason for this You changed me You saved me I am forever grateful for you My little pitcher My soldier My kung fu ninja My super hero The joy of my salvation Life makes so much more sense when I’m looking at you Where I go, you will go I will starve so that you can eat Go without so that you can have Sleepless nights and empty bank accounts is all worth seeing you happy Many will disappoint you, leave you, hurt you, and scar you But remember momma will forever be right here for you You are the number one most important thing in my life You will never come second to nothing or no one No matter how big you grow you will forever remain my little baby boy My heart and my soul My beginning and my ending My tiny angel without wings My meaning, my reasoning, my inspiration and my motivation My one and my only Elijah William Tippett
