Society with their ignorant rules Try to squash the youth The fools If they could only see beyond The outer coating What a lot they could learn And experience what I have done I used to be a fool you see But now I have you to thank my son For opening my eyes and letting me see The beauty that lives inside All of us, then maybe One day the fools will see too That love and respect Is what you earn and not to be expected Dare to be you my special son Never bend to society Be proud of you Just like I am Be happy that you have grown Into the wonderful young person That you are My gift to you is the hope that Life gives you everything that you desire And cherish what you have already been given Copyright Jane F Chapman 2001 Written for my son Justin on his 21st birthday. |
