To My Son, Jordan

I am so proud of you, my son
Proud of the man you've turned into
Proud of who you have become
I had no doubt that's what you would do.

I'm honored that you chose me, son
I'm know that Dad is too
To parent you from your day one,
And all your lifetime through.

Theres much to be proud of you for
Im proud of your highs and lows
I couldn't imagine loving you more
From your head down to your toes.

I look forward to meeting you, son
As a husband and a dad
To see you have your very own son,
to teach him the good from the bad.

All The values that we taught you
And the traditions to carry on
To respect those older than you
And to Learn when mistakes are done.

You've made us a proud mom and dad
Which wasn't hard for you to do
Each day that we've already had
And each day after that too.

You've always been a strong one son
Your strength has always amazed me
All the trials that you've overcome
You had this since you were a baby

I am so proud of you, Jordan
Proud of the man you've turned into
From birth to good child to a great man
I had no doubt that's what you would do.
