He isn't perfect.
Except in my eyes, he is respectful.
I'm proud of my son for the young he has become.

Sure, he has been taught right from wrong.
Even when to stand his ground?
Stand up to the truth than to accept blame.

I'm proud of my son.
Smart and talented in his very own way.

Brings tears to my eyes to say with honor.
He so far stayed away from gangs and crime.
Proud to state  I love you forever.

Of course, I'm not the only one proud of his son.
But in a world where many leaving this earth too soon?
