My Son

He’s special to me
Not a bad trait in his body
Kind to the bone
He’d give you his last penny


I couldn’t fault him
I wouldn’t know how
My eldest son
I am very proud


He does well at school
His brain is in gear
The exams will phase him
He’ll pass
He will be in the clear


He helps in the home
Likes his money
Earns his crust
And never goes bust


I would be lost without him
You don’t know how much
I couldn’t explain
If we ever lost touch


Although that would never happen
For he is my son
The love I have
Is always and forever true
