Dear Son Written by Kaye Logan 1973

Dear Son:
I came into your room tonight?.but I was too late
Mommy?s little clown was already asleep
And it?s hard to show you how much I love you
When I only see you every other week
When you get up you have so many things to do, like run jump and play
Why you hardly have time to stop long enough to eat
Let alone listen to what mommy has to say

And today you ask a question, that broke my heart once more
If I still want to be your mommy
Why don?t I live with you and daddy like I did before
Well son, I tried to explain, I really tried to make you see
It was the judge and your daddy?s decision, it wasn?t left up to me.
You think it?s cause I don?t love you, But honey, try to understand
You might have to face the same heartbreak, when you grow up to be a man
You look so peaceful, lying there, a sly little frown on your face
There?s no need for frown?s or tears,
There?s not a person alive, who could ever take your place

It?s funny, I?m sitting here trying to make you understand
I?m sure glad your asleep, can you imagine me crying and I?m a grown woman
You don?t have to be a baby, to break down and cry,
Sometimes things go so wrong, even a grown up can?t understand why
But then I shouldn?t complain, you?re a bright healthy boy for theree
And it?s not like your gone for good, cause you still belong to me
I?ll bet tomorrow, you won?t even know, that mommy was in your dreams for a while
But I think you finally understand
Cause you?re frown has been replaced with a smile

In the morning when the sun comes up, we?ll both have a different point of view
Cause I think your going to see, how much mommy really loves you
Well son, guess that?s all I have to say, and you know what?
I think I really, your trust love and most of all the pleasure to say
Goodnight son (kiss) whisper) mommy loves you so much
