Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

My Baby Boy

From the moment I held you
I loved you with all my heart
I promised that I'd do my best
Even though I was so lost

Days turned into years
You changed so fast
The little boy I knew
Has grown into a young man

We may argue and yell
We so rarely agree
But that will never change
how much I love you

I see the best and worst of you
Holding you always in my heart
No matter how you change
I'll always love you, my baby boy

Now you're leaving me
Seeking a life you can't have here
It breaks my heart to see you go
But I know deep down, this is for the best

Thinking of what's best for you
Even when it doesn't include me
Rips out my heart
But that's what it means to be a parent

I'll always be there for you
I promise that now and forever
I know this won't be goodbye
Just the start of a new chapter

I hope this journey helps you grow
I hope you find what you're looking for
Know that I'll be here waiting for you
And loving you always, my baby boy
