My Son

My Son

A father who grew up with a fatherless past

That is why my love for you will always last

I look at you and I'm proud as can be

But I want you to grow up and be a better man than me.

I want you to accomplish all of your dreams

Even if they seem hard to reach

People will discourage you along the way

That is when you get on your knees and pray

You have the strength deep inside

So never be scared and don't try to hide
Live your life with a good heart

Be there for your mother even if your far apart

I want you to see what I can see

That is your as special as can be

So please, don't be the man the world wants you to be

Grow to be the man you want to be
