The son then cradles his mother in his arms and sings an altered rendition of her lullaby in reciprocation for the unconditional love that she had shown him throughout his life, vowing to always love her in return. When the son first arrives, his mother tries to sing her lullaby to him, but she is too weak to finish. However, she gradually grows old and frail, and her grown son visits his feeble, sickly mother for the final time. After her son enters adulthood and moves across town, his elderly mother occasionally sneaks into his bedroom at night to croon her customary lullaby. Despite her occasional aggravation caused by her son's behavior, the mother nonetheless visits his bedroom nightly to cradle him in her arms, and sing a brief lullaby promising to always love him. The story details the cycle of life by chronicling the experiences of a young son and his mother throughout the course of the boy's life and describing the exasperating behavior exhibited by him throughout his youth. The son sings the song for her, then sings it to his newborn daughter. The mother and son grow older, with the former becoming sick due to old age, and one day unable to sing the lullaby. During his childhood, she becomes frustrated with his rebellious nature, yet always sings to him after he falls asleep. The story centers on a mother who sings a lullaby to her son at each stage of his life. Love You Forever is a 1986 children's picture book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Sheila McGraw.
