Samuel

Samuel, you carry a beautiful grace

I see all the care shining right from your face

You're fiercely protective, so loving and true

I thank the good Lord for a spirit like you

You watch over me with a tender embrace

And turn every room to a comforting place.

When we are together, the love is so real

It’s a genuine peace that you make me feel

I wish it would linger when we are apart

But I carry your spirit right here in my heart

I love you, Papa, when all's said and done

You will always and forever be my son.

We have our disagreements, we stumble and sway

Sometimes the shadows get in our way

But no passing storm and no words that we speak

Could ever diminish the bond that we keep

No matter the friction, no matter the pride

I'm standing right here, by my beautiful boy's side.

When we are together, the love is so real

It’s a genuine peace that you make me feel

I wish it would linger when we are apart

But I carry your spirit right here in my heart

I love you, Papa, when all's said and done

You will always and forever be my son.

I pray that the closeness we share in the room

Could cross over miles and chase away gloom

When we are divided, I miss how it feels

To rest in a love that is honest and real

But even in distance, my promise is clear

My love for you, Papa, is always right here.

Oh, when we're together, the love is so real

It’s a genuine peace that you make me feel

I wish it would linger when we are apart

But I carry your spirit right here in my heart

I love you, Papa, when all's said and done

You will always and forever be my son

Yes, always and forever, my beautiful son.
