VINCENT

I try to hide the tears when I'm feeling low

But you always see the things I try not to show

You walk right up and look me in the eye

"Are you okay, Mom?" you ask when I cry

You wrap your arms around me, safe and strong

And suddenly the sadness doesn't stay too long

Vincent, you're attentive, with a gentle grace

You bring the comfort back into this place

I am so blessed that I get to be your mother

So proud of how you love your little brother

We have our ups and downs, but one thing is true

I would never change a single thing about you

Thank you for the care you show me every day

Happy birthday, Vincent, I love you more than words can say

When we lost Grandma, the world went so dark

A heavy kind of sorrow weighing on my heart

But we walked through that shadow, hand in hand

You were my comfort when I could barely stand

We shared the pain, we let each other grieve

You gave me the strength that I needed to believe

In the hardest time we've ever had to face

We held each other up in that empty space

I am so blessed that I get to be your mother

So proud of how you love your little brother

We have our ups and downs, but one thing is true

I would never change a single thing about you

Thank you for the care you show me every day

Happy birthday, Vincent, I love you more than words can say

You are so helpful, with a spirit so bright

The best big brother, making everything right

Even when we argue, even when we bend

My love for you is endless, right to the end

I wouldn't trade this life, wouldn't trade this view

Of the beautiful person I see in you

I am so blessed that I get to be your mother

So proud of how you love your little brother

We have our ups and downs, but one thing is true

I would never change a single thing about you

Thank you for the hugs that chase my tears away

Happy birthday, Vincent, I love you more each day
