My Son Kenneths' Birthday Present 2022
My Son Kenneths’ Birthday Present
2022
I can't paint you a pretty picture
I can't give you a lot of cash
But I hope what mommy gives you will forever always last
I can't recall the color, the one you love the best
But I do recall some good times and I am sure there's plenty left
I can tell you some funny jokes and the rules to your daddy’s game
But unless he’s here to speak to them they really are not the same
I can tell you about your childhood and some stunts you/they tried to pool
I can remind you of the feelings when you realized we/they were/weren't’ fools
And I hope what mommy gives you will forever always last
Although they made you change your name to have a place to live
Maybe in reality that’s all they had to give
But now that you became a man, and learned a lot alone
I hope you please remember that your never far from home.
