I look at you, my beloved son
And my heart swells in my chest
For you are everything I dreamed of
We have weathered every test
You're smart and strong, but gentle too
An honorable young man
You're someone I'm proud just to know
And it's only you who can
Touch me in the depths of my heart
Reach past the barriers there
Allow me to feel love freely
To show you how much I care
You're the best thing in all my life
And you healed my tortured soul
You gave me a reasson to live
And, my son, I love you so
