Dedication
To my son -
The first life I held in my arms and the first soul that taught me that love isn't always easy, but it is always worth it.
You are a story still being written, and I will be here for every page.
Through the storms, the victories, the moments of silence, and the moments of fire - I love you without condition.
May you always know that your life has meaning, your heart has purpose, and your name has power.
A Mother's Prayer
Lord, I place my son in Your hands today and every day.
Cover him in Your protection when the world feels heavy.
Calm the storms inside him that I cannot reach.
Remind him that no mistake is too big for Your mercy
and no darkness is too strong for Your light.
Surround him with good people, strong mentors, and open doors.
Let him see himself the way You see him -
full of promise, purpose, and a future worth fighting for.
Keep his heart soft, his mind steady, and his path straight.
And when he is unsure, remind him…
he will never walk alone.
Amen.
Poem - "Behind Your Eyes"
Behind your eyes there's a story untold,
A fire that burns, a spirit bold.
The world may not see all that you are,
But I know, my son, you're a rising star.
Your silence speaks in a thousand ways,
Your strength has carried you through the maze.
Though shadows sometimes block the view,
I see the light that shines in you.
You are my battle, my prayer, my song,
Proof that love can weather long.
And no matter how far your journey bends,
My love for you will never end.
