To My Son

I watched as you grew up From a child to a man I always tried to do my best To help you understand I always had your best interests In all I did for you Thought I'm sure there were times There was probably more that I could do I was there to support to you In everything you tried The times you made me proud But in private is where I cried I know at times I angered you But it was for your best You see, at times you angered me But that's a child putting his parents to the test But with all that we've been through There's something you should always know That not one day has ever passed When my love for you didn't show 9-17-09/RjH
