My Special Valentine

My Special Valentine
My Precious son
Ken

Sending you my love on Valentine's Day

The years have gone too swiftly since you had to say goodbye
It feels like only yesterday that I had you by my side
The longing never leaves me to hold you once again
You were not only a son to me, but also my best friend

If you would come into my dreams for just one glimpse of you
I'd never ask another thing if this wish of mine comes true
I remember when you were just a tot, your tiny hands and feet
A baby boy that shared my life but for awhile, and it was oh so sweet

I've loved you from the very first, from the day of birth until you had to leave
You grew up to be a wonderful son that I lost and now I grieve
I know we'll meet again in some far and distant place
Beyond my vision, but this mother's heart still can see your face

May God in all His mercy forever keep you in His care
Until the time that I arrive, once again our lives to share
May God in all His goodness keep watch between me and thee
While we're apart for just awhile
With joy I await that wondrous day to see your loving smile
