Joshua Adam Gibson

I was forty years old when you came to my world

The sweetest kind of beautiful surprise

The youngest of six brothers, my baby boy

I saw the whole future looking in your eyes

Joshua Adam Gibson, you grew up so fast

But a mother's first memories are always built to last

So when the hard days come and the shadows get long

I want you to listen to your mother's song

To find a little strength when you're feeling low

And remember the love that will never let you go

I am so proud of the man you've become

I can't wait to hug you, my beautiful son

You've got a humble heart and a brilliant mind

A love for animals, you're gentle and kind

Playing your video games, laughing out loud

You treat me with respect, and you make me so proud

You're a quiet kind of smart, steady and true

There is so much good wrapped up inside of you

So when the hard days come and the shadows get long

I want you to listen to your mother's song

To find a little strength when you're feeling low

And remember the love that will never let you go

I am so proud of the man you've become

I can't wait to hug you, my beautiful son

I know the world feels heavy since you lost your Dad

Cal David passed last year, and it hurts so bad

You miss him every day, but he's watching from above

And he left you with a lifetime of his love

So keep your head up, Josh, through the rain and the shine

I'm always right here, and you are always mine

Whenever you're tired, whenever you break

Just listen to this message for your own sake

From Elizabeth to Joshua, a bond that won't end

You're my youngest boy, and my dearest friend

So when the hard days come and the shadows get long

I want you to listen to your mother's song

To find a little strength when you're feeling low

And remember the love that will never let you go

I am so proud of the man you've become

I can't wait to hug you, my beautiful son
