standing on a shadow's lace

the first time I ever
set eyes on you
I fell hopelessly in love
I knew for years you were out there
but had to wait for my turn
how could anyone who ever met you
not see you as special
before you, I thought I knew so much
so much about life, so much about loving
but daily you have taught me I knew nothing
you saw through my mistakes
and held me high in my flaws
unconditional love is so fleeting
but in this world I feel it
I know it, I really know it
with you I am never alone
you have taken my heart
and taken me to heights
I have never imagined
how many heart beats
have I counted in your presence
and how I have breathed you in
I have watched you as you dreamed
wondering if they were big and colorful
you showed me the path to believe in things
you made me even believe in me
I live such an enchanted life
and am truly charmed
and all because of you
today you take away my breath
just as you did the day we met
my incredible man, my son

Happy Birthday Brian, Happy Birthday
        love you, mom

A beautiful tribute, Helen. I'm sure he adores you too and knows how lucky he is to have you as his mom, his friend.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
