Song For Son

Love is not just a word
Life is more than you heard
Truth is only what you know
Faith is not just what you show
Hope is the deepest part
The beauty of the faithful heart

It doesn’t burst upon the soul
The heart, the mind
They just know
It lives and grows and is
With strength and depth and breadth and all
It holds against the strongest pull

It’s not a flash, a crash of oh!
It’s just there
You just know
It’s not a sudden waking up
It just is
Love

I didn’t ask for it
I didn’t hope for it
I didn’t even know it was
Until I knew
It always was
And always is

I look at him, it’s there
I never understood
I could live with such fear
Within the fear is trust
And the knowledge that I can
And will always feel this love

Hopes, dreams, wishes, wants
Nothing without him
Work, fight, walk, run
To give all I am for him
Lift, push, hold, let go
All for him
My son.
