HE CALLED ME MOMMY

For six years, he was mine
My first, beautiful son
The boy I'd always wanted
Why didn't it last long?

For six years, I loved him
As if he was my own
Divorce stole him from me
It's hard to see him grown.

Some said it wouldn't last, but,
I loved him from the start
He may have only been my step-son
But, still he was mine, if only in my heart

Once I had a wonderful son
And I know how much he loves me
For I rememeber the first time
I heard him call me Mommy.
