MY SON
MY SON IS MY ONLY SHINING RAY OF HOPE
HE’S THE MAIN REASON WITH LIFE I COPE
HE’S A BUBBLING, BUSTING LITTLE BOY
WHO WANTS TO BUT EVERY SINGLE TOY
SO FULL OF ENERGY I CAN HARDLY KEEP UP
WHILE HE WALKS DOWN THE STREET WITH HIS PUP
HE’S NOW AT THE AGE, WHERE EVERYTHING’S WHY
WHEN HE SEES MY TEARS HE SAYS “ DON’T CRY”
WITH EVERY NEW WOOD HE LEARNS TO SAY
I RELIES MY BABIES GROWING UP EVERYDAY
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE HE’S ALMOST TWO
IT SEEMS TO ME TIME JUST FLEW
BUT IN 5 DAYS, HE’LL BE EXACTLY THAT AGE
IN THE CALENDAR OF LIKE WE’LL TURN A PAGE
AND NEXT YEAR WHEN HE REACHES THREE
I HOPE HE’S STILL SMALL ENOUGH TO SIT ON
MY KNEE.
