Forever in my heart

Forever in my heart.

One day i found my little lad,

Working out, giving all he had,

Taken aback, I asked him in surprise,

What this toiling hard implies?

He looked at me with his lovely eyes,

Said " Mama, I have gained weight enough,

that's why you don't pick me up,

I am shedding the weight I've gained,

so that you can carry me again"

I looked at my skinny boy and

laughed out with sheer joy,

Told him, " you will always my baby be,

You may outgrow my arm but forever in my heart i will carry thee".

Smiling then he hugged me tight,

The warmth melted away the worries for his respite .
