No Father In This World Is Luckier
My arms both have bruises from all the slug-bugs that he’s seen;
His bedroom wall is covered with pictures cut out from Big Time Wrestling magazines;
At twelve years old he stands taller than me, which he likes to brag to everyone;
No father in this world is luckier, than me with my adopted son.
Politically, I think it’s a woman’s choice, this difficult decision to make;
If you were willing to adopt a child it might make that an easier path to take;
I cannot speak for everyone who has gone down the adoption route,
But for me it is the best thing I’ve done, of that there is no doubt.
I have three biological kids, who I love with all my heart,
When we adopted our fourth child the other’s adult lives had already given start,
He filled up our empty nest, helping to keep us young;
No father in this world is luckier, than me with my adopted son.
