My Son

          I love you so, you are my son,

               Just look at you, you’re almost one,

       And this is what we’ll do today,

               We’ll have some fun and play and play,

I’ll clap with you,

And rap with you,

I’ll “coo” with you,

“Ah-goo” with you,

I’ll splash with you,

And trash with you,

I’ll lay with you,

And play with you,

I’ll meet with you,

And eat with you,

I’ll laugh with you,

And gaff with you,

I’ll ride with you,

Confide in you,

I’ll roll with you,

Console you too,

For you have issues on your mind,

I don’t know what the tests will find,

Until they do we’re one-on-one,

I love you so, you are my son.
