I loved you from the very start,
As mother with child, each day I grew,
I'd daydream of the things we'd share.
I thought of things you'd want to know,
When I first saw your precious face,
Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I linger at your nursery door,
I loved you from the very start,

For my son Cody
You comfort me my sweet angel
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun,
You're part of me my little one.
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.
Like late-night bottles and teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABCs.
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes,
I memorize your eyes and nose.
Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper "I Love You" every night.
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journey's begun,
My heart's yours forever my little one.
(I Love You so very much!)
when I feel my heart will break
sometimes I feel such sadness
that deep inside I ache
You fold your arms around me
and gently heal my pain
with love you whisper soft words
to ease my troubled brain
Whenever I have rough times
I know that you are there
your heart is always reaching out
and showing that you care
So rest my sweet angel
today your work is done
as I drift off to sleep tonight
I know our hearts are one
