This Kid's Somethin' Else

 The first time I saw you

I thought to myself

"There's no doubt about it

This kid's somethin' else!"

And you've lived up to that

In more ways than one

I'm not quite the same

But it sure has been fun 

You've inspired my heart

And you've lightened my mood

Then challenged my patience

Till I just came unglued 

But I wouldn't have missed it

Because no matter what

It's been worth every minute

And I love you so much!

And as I look at you now

I think to myself

"There's no doubt about it

You're still somethin' else!"

My Child

There's few things in life

That never will change

But my love for you

Is always the same

The minute I saw you

And held you to me

The bond that we made then

Forever will be

If purpose in life

I questioned before

When you came along

I questioned no more

Loving you - teaching you

Watching you grow

There's no greater joy

That I'll ever know

Thru laughter and tears

Thru life's many miles

I'm always beside you

For you are my child!
