Watching My Son

I watched my son at his soccer game Run away from the soccer ball; I watched my son strike out four times In his game of Little League baseball; I watched my son at his football game Sitting still on the end of the bench; I watched my son dribble the ball off his foot Helping the other team, the game to clench. I watched my son at the holiday chorus Never move his lips when the class did sing; I watched my son at the school assembly Not get an award for anything; I watched my son at the science fair Display a project that came out wrong; I watched my son at his piano recital Play a totally unrecognizable song. I wake up every morning and thank the Lord For making me such a proud Pop; That boy of mine, wouldn’t you know, Is a regular chip off the old man’s block.
