Prose - My Rising Son
As a father
I could not be more proud
I don’t keep it to myself
I say it out loud
No matter what
You will always have my love
That is because
You were sent from heaven above
Even though we are apart
For days and days on end
You are always in my heart
Because of that the pain does mend
I think of you often
And wonder if you are happy or sad
You always have my approval
Because I am your Dad
As you begin the final step
From boy to man
I want you to know
I will help all I can
I want us to be close
In each and every way
You can call me anytime
And tell me what you have to say
I will always be there for you
I’m on your side
You don’t have to worry about that
For you are my pride
Just do your best
And always tell the truth
I will understand and forgive
The mistakes of your youth
I hope this is a new step
In our lives as father and son
I will always love you
For you are my rising sun
