Aj

I remember you at just a few years old

My little mama’s boy with a heart of gold

I’d turn the dial up and start to sweep the floor

And you’d come running right through the kitchen door

I’d spin around to a country beat

And you’d be right there, copying my feet

Just making up a dance to pass the time away

I still carry that memory every single day

Oh, AJ, you’re remarkable, a daring kind of soul

You’ve got a caring spirit that makes my life whole

You’re smart and you’re protective, truly one of a kind

The greatest blessing that a mother could find

But the thing that fills my eyes with happy tears to say

Is when the world got heavy, you didn't walk away

Where a lot of folks would leave, you chose to see it through

Thank God for a son like you

I’ve watched you grow into the man you are now

You carry the weight and you manage somehow

With a loving heart that you wear on your sleeve

You always gave me a reason to believe

Life wasn't always a simple song to sing

But you stood by my side through everything

You held the line when the skies turned gray

And you loved your mama in a fearless way

Oh, AJ, you’re remarkable, a daring kind of soul

You’ve got a caring spirit that makes my life whole

You’re smart and you’re protective, truly one of a kind

The greatest blessing that a mother could find

But the thing that fills my eyes with happy tears to say

Is when the world got heavy, you didn't walk away

Where a lot of folks would leave, you chose to see it through

Thank God for a son like you

There were situations where the road got rough

When giving up would have been easy enough

People might have turned their backs and let me fall

But AJ, you stood tall through it all

I owe you a thank you much bigger than the sky

For being the rock that I could stand by

Oh, AJ, you’re remarkable, a daring kind of soul

You’ve got a caring spirit that makes my life whole

You’re smart and you’re protective, truly one of a kind

The greatest blessing that a mother could find

Thank you for holding on when the skies turned gray

Thank you for never, ever walking away

Where a lot of folks would leave, you chose to see it through

I'm so proud to share this life with a son like you
