My Son



This one is for you my son... with all my love

I wanted to tell you few things... for so long

You are not a child any longer... to listen to me

But... all these things you might want to know

And remember that I am still your Mom after all

You are a grownup man... and on your own

You have your own job... and your own life

Someday soon... you will have your own family too

To care for... to look after... and to take care of

Just like the way I have done it for you... for so long

I wanted to tell you that... I am very proud of you

I am proud of all your achievements... and goals

And proud to see you going after... what you want

I am proud of saying... This young man is my son

I might have done something right with you in this life

Don't change your ways too much to please others

Keep something reserved for you... and for yourself

Your anger and temper... needs to be kept under control

You must keep your heart and love... open and wide

Remember... you are still my dear son and part of my life
