Son of Mine

You challenge my patience you fight me sometimes

But like me, you love all the time

You hide behind a toughness, you rebel, you mock

Your exterior the fighter, with eyes like a hawk

Yet, inside a sadness of a love you had lost

Alone you carry the burden, no matter the cost

I'm just a shepherd that tried to guide

When heartbreak and sorrow make you cry at night

So much of myself, I see in your heart

We feel way too much, take everything to heart

You love with a fierceness that scares me sometimes

As you watch life's crimes and change of the times

Your honesty cuts like a knife to the bone

When we argue about faith and being alone

In your art and your writing I see the other side

Of a child turned to man with nothing to hide

How proud you make me by standing like a force

A Gail wind of justice for those who have lost

You protect what you love, take care of your own

And each day I watch the hero I've born

May God shower you with a loved one

To share all you beliefs and a sun

That brightens your halo as you carve your path

To become the man, that you can be proud of

I will love you always, without judgement or care

Even if your dreams is not what we share

What we have, a spirit the same

To dare the unknown and chance a burning flame

My heart is at peace, I gave what I could

You search through life and find the good

Grateful for laughter so much of our time

You stay a rock, you, son of mine.
