Kevlin

From the moment they placed you right into my arms

I knew you were my special, sweet boy

We’d lay down for naps in the afternoon light

And my heart would just fill up with joy

You’d steal all the covers and leave me the cold

The cutest little blanket hog, truth be told

I’d just smile and I'd watch as you drifted to sleep

A memory I swore I would carefully keep

Oh Kevlin, you're caring, you're thoughtful and kind

With a beautiful soul and a beautiful mind

But no matter how heavy this old world might feel

I want you to know that His promise is real

Hold tight to Jesus, whatever you do

He'll never abandon, He'll always love you

I've watched you grow up with that same gentle heart

Always ready to offer a hand

I'm so proud to call you my grandson today

And watch as you walk in your own loving way

But sometimes the road gets a little too steep

And the shadows around you feel heavy and deep

When the world brings you down and the days get too long

I want you to know where you truly belong

Oh Kevlin, you're caring, you're thoughtful and kind

With a beautiful soul and a beautiful mind

But no matter how heavy this old world might feel

I want you to know that His promise is real

Hold tight to Jesus, whatever you do

He'll never abandon, He'll always love you

I can't always be there to cover you up

Or pull back the blankets and make it all right

But there is a Savior who walks by your side

To carry you safely straight through the night

So Kevlin, stay caring, stay thoughtful and kind

With that beautiful soul and that beautiful mind

No matter how heavy this old world might feel

I want you to know that His promise is real

Hold tight to Jesus, whatever you do

He'll never abandon, He'll always love you

Hold tight to Jesus, my special sweet boy

He'll never abandon, He'll always love you
