My Son
His love is so forgiving
unselfish is his soul
His mind is full of questions
his pockets full of coal.
His tender life affected
by things beyond control
For this reason
he depends on me
to keep him safe
from harm.
To nuture him and help him
through life's unending storm
yet he'll leave my home
someday
He'll pack his things
and move away
But forever he and I are one
forever he will be my son.
