My Seed

I planted my seed      Twenty years ago to the day      I gave life      In a natural unselfish way      Watched him grow     Through all the years     Kept him close      Casting away all my fears      Grew up strong and tall      Always made me proud      That`s my boy   All about shouting out loud      He`s married now      Has a family of his own     Passes so quickly       My god       How fast he`s grown       Now it is his time      To plant his seed      Another of heaven`s flowers        Never a weed
