You just know that he is special
Though he hides it deep inside
My son so full of love and heart
As his Dad he brings me pride
Though he doesn’t act the way
You think that he should be
If you take a look at him up close
You would find so much of me
When I was young and at his age
I was known to live from day to day
Not giving thought to what might be
Content to spend my life in play
As years went on and I grew up
There came a time when I could see
That there was more to life than play
Much more that I would want to be
My son will find the same choice
It will be his to face some day
To grow into a man with purpose
Or to spend his life in childish play
I look at him and have no doubt
The man that he will come to be
To find a road that’s his to walk
Give him time and you will see
For way beyond his youthful joy
He has purpose that will grow
Perhaps a son his own some day
To give the pride his Father knows
