Lyrics
A babe was born, so frail and small
In arms of love, he'd never fall
His folks stood by through thick and thin
Their love, his shield, his life, his win
He grew and saw what love could be
A force that time could not set free
At school, he saw a lass so sweet
But feared to tell, his heart would beat
With bravery, his love confessed
He found support, not jeers or jest
His parents taught him love's true worth
To cherish it from cradle to earth
From boy to man, he quickly sped
Each dawn with pride, his steps we tread
He had his dad's eyes, mom's sweet smile
Their traits in him, all the while
I observed his journey as he grew
In him, the future man I knew
Each victory we'd celebrate
Bound by love, an unbroken state
Off to college, his spirit soared
His choice in love, we all adored
With his degree, he found his mate
Our happiness could not abate
Though far from home, our son does stray
In our hearts, he'll always stay
This bond of love, through time, does chart
Always near in spirit, close at heart
From youth to spouse, to father's role
His tale of love does cheer the soul
Now with his own, life's circle starts anew
A legacy of love, genuine and true
Now as a father, love's depth he feels
Grasps fully what a parent deals
With pride, he looks on child and wife
Reflects on his path, love, and life
This love between a child and kin
The strongest force there's ever been
It lasts beyond the earth and sky
Love's bond, forever, cannot die
