Brian, My Love

You, my love
Were it for me
Yet, I felt I had
To set you free

Many nights awake
I'd cry and pray
"Please Lord might there be...
Some other way!"

Love, I could not give you
What you would need
A most difficult choice
Made not from greed

For had I not
Loved you so much
Here under my wing with me
In this I trust

A choice to let
You grow to be
A man of strength
I may never see

Tears, yes I still cry
Missing you so
Please forgive me love
For letting you go

Held against my heart
A memory of my son
Dear Brian, my love
My only one!
