Number One Son

A Number One Son

He will always be your number one son
To me he is the one

You put the twinkle in his eye
You put the smile on his face
So have I

You’ve seen him laugh
Seen him cry
So have I

You gave him life
A reason for living
So have I

You gave him kindness
You gave him love
So have I

You had the great joy
Of giving birth to a boy
So have I

You have shown him unconditional love
You have lived only for him
So have I

You see
We are not so different
You and I

Yes, I understand
From a child…
To a man…
The love of
A number one son
