Analysis of To my son
Sheri Cormier 1987 (British Columbia)
Hugs to u my son
And the tip of a head to show u r forsure gonna be some kind of special
The world dosent know u completely
And u have so much to offer
Its hard having a heart so big
U got so much love to give
Sometimes ur heart will beat fast
Sometimes ur angered but it won't last
Ur pure and simple
Honest and true
Everyday I'm thankful for u
I hope u get as much love as u give
U deserve nothing less
Ur a old soul and u sure are gold
I'd give u crown!
To show u just how proud
A mother can be of one special young man.
