My Dear, Sweet Son

I pray for you, my dear, sweet son,

I pray your heart stays true.

I pray for all amazing things

I know God has for you.

 

I hope for you, my dear, sweet son,

I hope that you’ll show grace.

You’ll take the battered brokenness

and leave love in its place.

 

I wish for you, my dear, sweet son,

I wish that you’ll know love.

The kind that fills your heart and soul

It must be from above.

 

I long for you, my dear sweet son,

I long for happy times

With just enough sadness in the mix

That you still sympathize.

 

I’ll love you always, dear, sweet son,

No matter what you do

You couldn’t change it if you tried

This momma’s heart loves you.
