My Son
Dedicated to Jim and Jeffery
I sit here and listen to him breath
as he sleeps
This little guy has touched
my heart so deep
He was created by another
Who left long ago
But God allowed me here
And his DAD I am known
He follows me and watches me
In all that I do
I didn’t know how great
Life would be with you
So much to live up to
In these beautiful eyes
For he watches what I do
And my actions he tries
He’s growing so fast
This little guy of mine
I would do all I could
For our love so entwined
I sit there and watch him
As he plays with his cars
And I thank God above
As I look to the stars
For why did I deserve,
this precious boys love?
I realize what a gift
Has been given from above….
I promise you God
I will take care of him
I will be there to help him
When Life's troubles win
Help me to walk as
the man I should be
For I want him to grow
and gain wisdom from me
Help me to fill the shoes
I’ve stepped in
Oh Lord, let him see
I’m the Dad he believes in!
