Son

Edited by: Sparkle Jordan

Son,

Listen
to
your
inner voice,

That
deep spiritual
part
of you,

speaking
Right
from 
Wrong -

Truth
from
Lies -

Denounce
all
negativity,

and
unselfishness 
in
your life -

The choice's
that
you make,

will
define
who you
are -

Keep it
positive,

It's 
your
time now,

The best
of
you

is yet
to come -

Everything
that 
you want,

the future
hold's -

so
take life
slow -

It's your
turn
to 
shine,

brighter
than stars
in
the sky -

Raise up!

and
be the 
son

that you were
meant
to be -

An
Honest,
intelligent,
respectful,
scholarly,
and
talented
Son -

That's
who you
are -

May
God
bless you 
to live
long,

and
achieve 
the
impossible 
dream

To
reach
for the
moon
and
beyond -
