My Fathers Son

In your hands I placed him on the day that he was born I knew that you’de take care of him, on this I would have sworn Just like I had planned it, his birth brought joy unto your face And an unconditional love that his mistakes could not erase You hugged him and caressed him, to my great delight And when the day was finished you tucked him in at night When he had the sniffles you wiped his little nose As he quickly grew you made sure that he had clothes I want to say, “ thank you “ for caring for my son I hope the days you had with him were filled with lots of fun It has been my joy to bring this gift into your life A gift you’ve always cherished even in times of strife The memories that were made with him will be treasures within your mind You tried to take good care of him, have patience and be kind I knew that you would try to do your very best Now that your job is complete, I do have one request Place your eyes on the future that in this world you will not see Know that there will come a day that you to will be here with me A place there is no sorrow, no sadness or disgrace You will hold my hand in yours and look upon his face For I will never leave or forsake you, though I know that you feel alone It was time for my son to come with me for this is not his home Oh, I know that you will miss him more than words can say But I will be here to comfort you all you have to do is pray
