My Child

MY CHILD

I love you to the moon and back,
And then way far beyond;
Without you here to give me life,
My heart does not go on.

For you, my child, were life to me,
The song within my soul;
Without you I am empty,
A half that once was whole.

No matter where you are, my child,
Just know you'll always be;
As close as my next heartbeat,
For your heart resides in me.

I'll always be your Mother,
You'll always be my child;
For in my heart, I'll keep your love,
And we'll never say goodbye.
