In tiny shoes from cloth of blue
Twenty years ago I come home to you
I grin, I laugh, I sob, I cry
I am forever yours till the day I die
You teach me this, you teach me that
I only wish I could give it back
From dusk till dawn, you’re always there
I am your spitting image, every strand of hair
My mind, my heart, the things I do
Are all a golden reflection of you
Hovering above with your watchful eye
I will make you proud, at least I will try
There is nothing above, what you’ve done for me
I only wish that your father could see
Because I know he’d try his best to be
Only half the father that you’ve been to me
And for that I thank you, with every beat of my heart
Because being your son, has been the best part

I enjoyed this; some very moving themes. A particularly sweet ending.

It's nice to be appreciated and even more so in words~~
