My Seed

I planted my seed Twenty years ago to the day I gave life In a natural unselfish way Watched him grow Through all the years Kept him close Casting away all my fears Grew up strong and tall Always made me proud That`s my boy All about shouting out loud He`s married now Has a family of his own Passes so quickly My god How fast he`s grown Now it is his time To plant his seed Another of heaven`s flowers Never a weed
