Please don't condemn my tears
Or the fact that I'm upset.
You must try to understand
That you are still my baby yet!
A lifetime we have cared,
Have loved and nurtured you
Tried to protect you from all hardships
And saw every heartache through.
No matter what the problem
Or the things that you have done -
You know we have always loved you
And will continue to my son!
It seems a lifetime now or more
Since we learned I was expecting you
And all our dreams and expectations
Had all finally come through!
>From the moment you were born
You have filled our lives with joy -
And our family was completed
With this gorgeous newborn little boy!
Since then there have been many times
When we've stayed awake at nights
And tried to find a way of coping with
Every major problem, or silly school-boy fights!
We've sat up to mend your wounded body
And to mop your fevered brow
And even when you didn't want us to
We were there for you anyhow!
When your lovelife took a nosedive
And you were feeling pretty down
We assured you we still loved you
And that you'd find another love somehow!
Like all the other young ones you loved to
Frequent all the local pubs -
Fill your body up with alcohol
Ten dance until the dawning in smoke-filled grotty clubs!
But now you've grown and matured into
A very handsome smart young man
And you're planning for the future
In the very best way that you can!
Today you came and told us that
You were planning to leave this family home
You had seen a nice wee flat and would love
To try and make it on your own!
You are working and you're saving
To make all your dreams come through
And although we wish you were not leaving
We give our blessing now to you!
So - please don't condemn my tears
Or the fact that I'm upset
Because although you've grown and matured
You are still my baby yet! |
