Our Son

Dear Lord,

Guide me as I raise my son into a man

A person who does the best he can

A man who loves God family and life

A man who can persevere through all strife

A child of yours as well as mine

The wisdom never to cross the blurry line

A giving man of love and spirit

An open willingness to always share it

A heart that feels strong and healthy

A man who knows it’s what’s inside

That makes him wealthy

Amen
