A poem written about who truly owns our children, A mothers love.
My Son Does Not Belong to Me



My son does not belong to me

I do not own him, NO.

He was given to me to shape and mold,

But my son is not my own.

He has and always will belong to the one who sacrificed His own.

To the One who shed his blood upon

that cross

My son I do not own.

When the days fly by fast and I fight for control

I must always, ALWAYS remember that

My son is not my own

NO

He belongs to the one who created the sun and the moon

The one who gave it all for me and you.

My sons path is laid out before him already

My son does not belong to e

He is not my own.

When the days seem long and they become too hard

I must always remember that

This fight is not mine, alone

My son does not belong to me

My son is not my own.

As my son grows older, there are days when all of the weight lays on my shoulders

That's when I need to stop and remember

My son does not belong to me

My son is not my own.

When the growing pains of his youth are made clear

I must never give up but always persevere.

When the worries of tomorrow become too much,

I must not ever let my heart give up

My son does not belong to me

My son is not my own

When the road seems tough and becomes littered with tears

I must always remind myself that my son is a gift given to me from

the One who created it all

My son does not belong to me

NO

My son I do not own

He was given to me as a gift

He is more precious than gold

One that I can only hold for a short time, one I must

Shape and mold.

But

My son does not belong to me

NO

My son I do not own.
