For My Son

you melt my heart you melt my soul 
to raise you right is my life goal
to give you things i never had 
i do this for you cos im your dad 
before you were born i didnt care 
i hated life which then was fair 
when i was told you were comming i said "ok fine "
you are my centre you are my sunshine 
i know at time you will drive me mad 
but ill love you forever cos i am your dad 
ill give you wisdom from my years 
ill pick you up when your down, wipe away all your tears 
for you id live forever, to make you laugh when you are sad 
because this is my duty, because i am your dad 
so now that ive written this and so that you do know 
whenever the world seems heavy you know where to go 
wether problems with a bully, or your feeling blue 
ill stand by your side forever, cos im your dad and i love you.
