I love you more!

"I love you mommy" he said.  "I love you more" said I.
So on we challenged with love and game, and on did the years go by.

Toddler became an adolescent and adolescent became the teen.
Patience, understanding and sacrifice were harder than it had seemed.

 But what a special blessing each year that brought some pain;
along with that came lessons not only to him, but to myself did gain.

I learned a lot about myself, that I had never known.
I learned that I had convictions and that I had seeds to sow.

In keeping with my convinctions I found myself on rocky a turrain,
That is with him who did not understand the reasonings and believed all I said  was lame.

But I will be strong in my convictions and my voice shall continue to be heard;
no matter if he thinks unfair, wild, crazy or absurd.

Because the truth of the matter, and this is indeed the score...
The truth is I will be there if you fall, and as always, I love you more!
