LOVE YOU FOREVER
At birth it was easy to love
You were an angel sent from above
With age came the true test
Of mothers I'd try to be the best
Curiosity would peak here and there
Sometimes i thought - more than i could bear
They were stages - you had to grow
I can help - just listen to what i know
I still loved you just the same
But with the growth, disappointment came
Disappointment not in you
But in some things you'd chose to do
Now you've chosen to take a stand
Step out of childhood - become a man
I can't believe you've gone to Iraq
Counting the minutes till you get back
Don't forget that prayer is a must
For it's in god and not bush we trust
He'll bring you home i have no doubt
If he takes you to it he'll bring you out
Being there's got to be rough
Just not being here is even tough
Whatever it is that you go through
Hang in there Corey - I love you!
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be!
LOVE MOM
