My Son

Cornelius is my son,  a fine up standing boy,
And when he was born,  oh what a bundle of joy,
He loves his music and plays the guitar,
And i pray to god he really does go far,
He loves to sing and loves to play,
And i really hope it stays that way,
For 16 years hes been such fun,
And i could not have hoped for a better loving son,
We really love each other with all of our heart,
And it will really really hurt when it is time to part,
I hope you remember me for all my good,
And hope you tell your kids about me just like you should.

Its great you can share this Ken, I have written one for each one of my children, and letter's too, for when the time comes. But right now i am keeping them to myself. Your son must be very proud of you.
