My Son

Late at night when all the world is asleep

I lay in my bed and begin to weep

When I think my whole world is gone

I think of something to make me strong

My son is the most joyous thing in my life

Never would I ever have to think twice

Of leaving him anywhere without me

That’s the way it will always be

How can people abandon their child

Maybe their scared or they’re wild

But anyone who can understand that a child is a life

Can make it through any trial or strife

So I thank the Lord for my beautiful son

Now another life has just begun

And I will be there through thick and thin

I’ll never weep at night again
