You will always be my son

Dedicated to all four of my boys

You will always be my son

When you looked up into my eyes I realized just how much that I loved

you and today when you look up

at me I know I still do and

I always will.

When you wake up at night with

tears falling from your eyes I wipe

them from your face and then I

whisper in your ear that it will be

okay and hold you even closer until

they go away.

When you shiver about the unknown

that hides in the dark and I hear you

scream I fight all of your fears away

hold your hand until the light of day

When you feel as if you are all alone

and there is no one that will understand

it is like your world is crashing and you

are drowning unable to hold on reach

your arms out to me and I will save you

take your hand then lead you home

When your heart breaks feeling like

nobody cares love has gone missing

and you are in despair just know that

I will be there to pick up all the pieces

as our love will never leave always connected no matter where your might

be all you need to do is just find the

road that leads back home no matter

how long you have been gone for I

will always be there waiting because

you will always be my son
