I never saw you being born
Never thought of how much your nose resembled mine
Haven't wondered if you take after your father or me
Never felt the glow of new motherhood after hours of long labour

But I will love you
Kiss away the pain of scratched knees
Listen when you have your first heart broken
And cure it with milk and cookies
I will try to help you in future struggles and try everything in my power to keep you from harm

You didn't grow in my belly
You have grown in my heart
You may not call me mom
Still I am proud to call you my son
