And I Smile

And I Smile

The thought of you comes to mind
And I smile
As a boy you lit up my heart
And my life

You jumped into my arms
With a gleeful laugh
And I held you tight
Every morning

This passed as you became older
But the memory I carry
You were still full of life
Every day

You are now a man
To be proud of in every way
Through harsh times and good
Every year

The thought of you comes to mind
And I smile
As a son you’ve warmed my heart
All of my life
