Conner's My Salvation

When life crumbles
and you feel
like you're about to be eaten
alive as though you're a marinated steak
being fed to a ferocious lion
with the salivating mouth,
look to your child,
who is your savior
with his big beautiful blue eyes
smiling at you
with more unconditional love
than anyone else can offer
while he runs to you
with his outstretched arms
telling you, "Mommy"
with his gorgeous smile
radiating all his love
from the inside out
realize God has blessed
with the greatest gift of all...
your child
and you have been saved
by not only God,
but the love of your
beloved son.

When your life wilts
like a dying rose
with the beauty of
dark crimson red
and looking wondrous
as someone has deliberately
plucked you from
your habitant
to enjoy your magnificent value
of giving joy
to all those who encounter you
don't be sad
because the end of your destination
has set itself before you,
but rejoice because you've touched
someone on the inside
where their essence blooms
into God's wondrous gardens
and no one appreciates you more
than your child,
who you adore you
from the beginning
until the very end
of your blessed journey provided
by God
and welcomed by your son.

When your life spoils
like a container of milk
don't cry because of
what you lost,
but smile because
without you
your child wouldn't have
healthy teeth and bones
to grow into a
cherished, intelligent, fun-loving
man handcrafted by God,
but grew inside of your womb
for you to be consumed
by unconditional love at first sight
and that child you delivered
loves you more than anyone
without restrictions, rules, ridicules
because at the end of the day
you are his mother,
who he reaches for
with his arms,
but loves with all his heart.

When your life smiles
from the beginning of your existence
to the end
after you have accomplished your goals
and conquered obstacles along the way
don't weep over what you won't experience,
but thank God
for all those treasures you received
along the way
and everything you were able to
share with your son.
