I see your laughter in the morning light,
A whisper now, a memory held tight.
Your small hands, once in mine, are gone,
Yet in my heart, our bond lives on.
The world feels colder, the nights too long,
Without your voice to sing our song.
Your mother took you far from here,
But in my soul, you’re always near.
I dream of days when we’d explore,
The world together, forever more.
Now I walk alone, footsteps slow,
Carrying the weight of letting go.
Yet, I am your father, this will not fade,
No distance can diminish the bond we’ve made.
Someday you’ll grow, and you’ll understand,
A father’s love, unwavering, will stand.
So, when the stars light up the sky,
Know I’m thinking of you, my compass, my why.
Wherever you are, wherever you roam,
My heart remains your eternal home.
And if ever you are searching,
if ever you feel alone,
follow the voice of love,
and you will find me.
(SONG I WAS SINGING FOR MY SON IS – YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE)
You are my sunshine, my only glow,
In your light, the world feels whole.
When skies are gray and shadows loom,
Your smile dispels the deepest gloom.
You’ll never know, dear, how much I care,
A love so vast, beyond compare.
Through every storm, through every fray,
You are the light that guides my way.
Hold tight, my son, to this truth so true,
My sunshine, my heart, forever with you.
Please don’t fade, don’t drift away,
You are my sunshine, come what may.
And if ever the night feels too dark,
Remember this love, a steadfast spark.
For you are my sunshine, my only light,
A beacon of hope, endless and bright.
