You are a son to be proud of
That’s what you are to me
Your confidence
Your friendliness
Your open heart
Makes me glad that I’m me
That I have the privilege
To bring you up
To know you
To grow you
To watch you
The right to be called Papá by you
I’m sorry for the times I’ve been
Short-tempered
Long –winded
Condemning
Unfriendly
To you my one and only
A son to be proud of
A son to live my dreams
Be what I could never be
See life through fresh eyes –
Go and be the best
You can be for the true Father.
