Son

From each tight grip

And every love will ever pale

In contrast to this eventful trip.

So, as you grow I watch and learn

And you become something that I am not.

For all you've given me, I'll never discern

You'll never know what all you've brought.

Hope and love and laughter and tears,

you are the everything in my life.

For each second that you've brought on tears,

For each second that you've brought on strife,

It all melts away into this moment of bliss,

You lean over and give your mama a kiss.
