Proud 10-12-08

You were conceived with a love so tender To steel my heart you were certainly a contender My shining star was finally born My role to always guide and protect I had sworn Your big blue eyes always piercing so deep In the rocking chair I’d sing you to sleep I’ve proudly watched you develop and grow With your charismatic personality constantly aglow While sometimes met with that stubborn streak Always making an effort to listen when you speak Your individuality you love to shock Putting up with your peers as they do mock Watching you perform pulls at my heart string Seeing you achieve causes my teary eyes to sting This past year you have been so brave I sense it felt like your were surfing a crashing wave I’m confident son you will continue to shine With your visual art being a constant sign Allowing us to see your sensitive side Sure does fill me up with over flowing pride I understand the anger you must feel All this crap it must seem so unreal In yourself always believe With your inner strength there’s nothing you can’t achieve Be assured son for you I’m always here No matter where just call and I’ll appear I want you to know I love you my son Never be afraid to your dreams to run With the world as your oyster full of rewards to reap Feel assured my unconditional love is yours to keep
