TO MY SON


         

        You know me as few others do
        Because you take the time to care.
        You give me a special love
        As only a son can give.

        Even during difficult times
        You take the time to listen.
        You are always aware of my feelings
        And you try your best to understand.

        We have something so very rare today.
        We have a true friendship that's rooted
        in mutual love and respect.
        Having you around is a precious gift.

        I love you for the part of me
        that you bring out.
        So often when I think of you
        And all the times we have shared,
        My heart is full of thankfulness.

        I share my thoughts and feelings with you.
        I share my pain and sorrow with you.
        But you never turn away
        You cover me with your love.

        We don't always realize
        the effect we have on others lives,
        But you have affected my life
        In so many wonderful ways.

        You have brought me great joy
        You have filled my heart with love
        And there is no love like the love of a son
        And I am so proud to call you son.

        I love you son.

        ~Wind Beneath My Wings~

        It must have been cold there in my shadow,
        to never have sunlight on your face.
        You were content to let me shine, thats your way,
        you always walked a step behind.

        So I was the one with all the glory,
        while you were the one with all the strength.
        A beautiful face without a name~for so long,
        a beautiful smile to hide the pain.

        Did you ever know that your my hero,
        and everything I would like to be.
        I can fly higher then an eagle,
        'cause you are the Wind Beneath My Wings.

        It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
        but I've got it all here in my heart.
        I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it,
        I would be nothing without you.

        Did you ever know that your my hero,
        And everything I would like to be...
        I can fly higher then an eagle,
        'cause you are the Wind beneath my wings.

        Fly, Fly, Fly away...
        You let me Fly so high
        Oh Fly, Fly
        so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky..
        Thank you..thank you....thank GOD for you
