My Boy

Without you, I just don't know

Who I'd be, what I'd think, or where I'd go

Everyday, I like to think

"I was too young, and too dumb," but then I blink

There you are, my sweet, sweet boy

To remind me why I'm here

And why you fill my heart with joy.

On my darkest and most sad days

Just your smile makes the gloom go away

Every time you've seen me cry

You touch my face, and look in my eyes

When you tell me, "It'll be okay."

You make the black clouds turn to gray.

You believe it with all your soul

You inspire me to fill the hole

That is my chest

I don't get rest

Until my boy reminds me.
