To my Stepson

I was not yours

And you were not mine

Yet here we are together

Walking down the line

I was not the one

Who may have felt you grow

But as I watch you growing up

I just really hope you know

That even though you and I

Did not start out together

That in my heart of hearts

Is where I keep you forever

Even though I was not the one

Who was supposed to make you

Watching you grow up

I’m honored to help raise you

You brought to my life

Immeasurable joy

I’m so thankful to your parents

For making the world's sweetest boy

And just because we didn’t

Start this race together

Know that you can turn to me

I’ll shelter you from the weather

I know that we don’t have

The connection that comes from birth

But I will be right by your side

I’ll always put you first

Know that I will love you

In my own way like no other

For I am forever grateful

To be called your stepmother
