Like Father, Like Son

Like father, like son No Like son, like father That is how I wish to be remembered I wish to be remembered Not for who I was But for who I became In honor of my son I wish to be remembered Not for being a good father But for who I raised To be a good son I wish to be remembered Not for the love I gave But for the blessing Of love given by my son I wish to be remembered Not for the times I laughed But for the moments My son laughed with me I wish to be remembered Not for when I smiled But for the difficult days When my son still smiled I wish to be remembered Not for all the good times But for the bad ones When my son made them better Most of all I wish to be remembered For raising a man Who I proudly call my son
