My Son

My Son
The day you came I smiled
I laughed as I smiled
You are a baby, a baby from the womb
You have arrived in a place called earth 

Now that you are here, listen to me my son

Never stop loving, but first yourself
Never stop dreaming, dream bigger
Chase your dreams, a lot is out there to be achieved 
Don't settle for less, a lot is better

And when I die, I know I will
Don't forget to sing my favourite hymn, How great thou art
Before the casket matches me to eternity.
And when I go to my fathers, I will tell them;
I am the father of my son
