Always my baby boy

(Verse 1)

No one told me

About the first time.

How after that moment,

Our worlds would align.

They spoke about the birth,

And the moment we’d meet.

Breathing you in,

Being brought to my knees.

(Chorus)

Your tiny fingers,

Wrapped around mine,

The world disappeared,

As I looked into your eyes.

As blue as the ocean,

I was lost in their depths,

Seeing I was your reason,

And you were mine.

The moment our worlds

Stood still in time.

(Verse 2)

Hovering by your bed,

Looking at your sweet face.

Willing you to tell me,

What you only could in cries.

I was fearful of those mornings,

When everyone would leave.

The room became smaller,

It was harder to breathe.

(Verse 3)

Pinching myself,

Because I had a new meaning.

Pinching myself,

Through the tears of feedings.

Burp cloths and pumps,

And nursery decor.

Sprawled out with the pieces of

Me on the floor.

(Bridge)

Just like magic,

This precious gift I was handed.

The timing was perfect,

Like only God could have planned it.

Through the stress and tears,

Both mine and yours,

I couldn’t see it,

But he knew what I needed.

(Verse 4)

They told me it would come.

It may take a while.

But they never said how I’d feel,

When I saw your first smile.

Motherhood in an instant,

Became mine for the taking.

Suddenly, I realized,

Every last moment

Was history in the making.

I was your reason,

And you were mine.

The moment our worlds

Stood still in time.

(Chorus)

Your tiny fingers,

Wrapped around mine,

The world disappeared,

As I looked into your eyes.

As blue as the ocean,

I was lost in their depths,

Knowing I was your reason,

And you were mine.

The moment our worlds

Stood still in time.
