But in my heart that little boy will never be far. So on this blessed day, there's so much I want to say. But above all I thank god for the man that you are. With a tender smile and a twinkle in your eyes. I wrap you in my arms and whisper this advice. Be strong. Be kind. Be patient and in time you'll find out, my son, what true love is all about. Be faithful and be true. Show love in all you do. Then you'll know just how you make your mother proud.
