Pure Love
I look with awe upon the face
Of this newborn son of mine
My heart beats softly in my chest
A feeling so sublime
A long-awaited dream come true
God's perfect gift to me
I catch my breath in wonder
At this blessing that I see
I promise him undying love
Uncompromised devotion
I can't believe he's really mine
I'm filled with such emotion
The years pass by and he grows up
Too fast, in my opinion
I realize that now it's time
I no longer hold dominion
To love him is to let him go
To find his way in life
To walk the way that he was taught
And battle his own strife
Now living in my twilight years
For yesteryear I thirst
The giver is the taker now
Our roles have been reversed
My life is solely in his hands
This grown-up son so dear
I place my trust now in his love
Of death, I have no fear
