My son turned two
today
And as I kissed him
happy birthday
I felt like the child
that he is
And then I tucked him
to sleep later that evening
And as I watched at
him and my wife sleeping
My mind went a
drifting
I wonder, Is he gonna be like me?
Is he gonna be better or worst?
I wonder if I’d turn like my daddy
And change this blessing to a curse?
Cause sometimes it’s hard to make ends meet
With all the demands of society
Would I sacrifice all the things he may say he
need
Or spend more quality family time,
And never make enough money,
To buy all of our dreams?
Oh would he understand
this life?
I just want to protect
him from all the evils
I want to be around to
guide him to be a man to respect and care for the community
For women, the
environment and be a role model to society
I want to stand beside
him on his wedding day
And hope that I won’t
have much to say
Cause of the bond we’d
keep all our lives through!
I wonder, Is he gonna be like me?
Is he gonna be better or worst?
I wonder if I’d turn like my daddy
And change this blessing to a curse?
Cause sometimes it’s hard to make ends meet
With all the demands of society
Would I sacrifice all the things he may say he
need
Or spend more quality family time,
And never make enough money,
To buy all of our dreams?
I clasp my hands now
to say a prayer
That if I die before
he knows himself completely
That the same God that
has been there for my conscious molding
Would you promise that
You’d be there for him?
And my wife that I
love with all my soul
The one who makes
sense of this varying world.
I wonder if the life I live inside my mind
Would be the life that this reality find
I wonder if throughout all the trials of
change
And the values of the next generation
Will I be wise enough to re-arrange
I wonder if I’d make the adaptation!
