Simeon

September twelfth, nineteen eighty-nine

Eleven fifty-five at night, the stars aligned

I held you close, Simeon, my baby boy

A quiet, humble spirit that nothing could destroy

Ever since that minute, it was me and you

Through the good and the bad, we always made it through

Just a mother and her son, taking on the world

Before the pages of our family story uncurled

Oh, I'm truly blessed, I'm truly blessed

Look at the love we built, we stood the test

From a mother's arms to the man you've become

I thank God every day for my beautiful son

Yeah, I'm truly blessed, I'm truly blessed

I still smile thinking 'bout those older days

Chilling with Grandma Tillery and Sealy in the shade

You kept that gentle nature, never asked for too much

Then July eleventh, twenty-twenty, we felt the sweetest touch

At four forty-eight PM, little Morgan arrived

I became a Nana, with happy tears in my eyes

Watching you be a father, so steady and so mild

My heart just overflowed for you and your child

Oh, I'm truly blessed, I'm truly blessed

Look at the love we built, we stood the test

From a mother's arms to the man you've become

I thank God every day for my beautiful son

Yeah, I'm truly blessed, I'm truly blessed

Then November twenty-first, twenty-twenty-six

At four o'clock sharp, all the pieces just clicked

Got a bonus grandson, sweet little James

As your best friend Domenique took your last name

I became a mother-in-law to your beautiful wife

So much grace pouring right into this life

And I'm truly blessed, I'm truly blessed

My cup is running over, my heart is at rest

From eleven fifty-five to the man you've become

I thank God every day for Simeon, my son

Yeah, I'm truly blessed, I'm truly blessed

Forever me and you, I am truly blessed
