You outgrew the stages of childhood dolls and toys
And been blessed with a beautiful boy
For nine months you felt him kick and turn
This was the stage that you both had to learn.
From here on your motherly instincts will rise
And with your wisdom he’ll turn out fine.
He will have his ups and downs, but his answers will be found.
A woman’s pains he must learn to understand
And yet grow up to be a man.
From you he’ll learn the rights and wrongs
And become big and strong.
As a mother you want “your son”
To respect each and every one.
Teach him that abuse of any kind
“Will not be accepted”
And in his heart it must be rejected.
Love him as the mother that you are
And in this world he will go far.
