I held your hands when you were small and tried to catch you should you fall, I watched you grow into young boys With your own hopes and dreams, Sometimes plans we had went astray or weren't made, Sometimes the words you spoke were not the ones I'd hoped to hear, I saw your disappointment when situation were untrue, Too trusting, or perhaps naive, you had to learn to be brave, So always remember wherever you go, Whatever you do, The constant thread that connects us Is my love for you
