To A Mother From A Son - From Chris to Betty Here's a poem I wrote for you. I hurt inside. I just don't know what I'm going to do. To wake up each and every day and not hear your voice or see your goofy smile. Tears fall as I write this to you, but I want you know I love you. You were beyond good to me; you were my shield, my support. You were my protector and provider. You showed me what a real woman was and how to be a real man. Thank you so much for being an amazing mother. I hope from up there you can read what I wrote. This is to a mother from a son. I love you mom. You'll forever be in my heart.
