Matthew

I still think about the days when you were only three

Riding down to Virginia with my husband and me

You stayed right by my side, looking out at the view

That was the start of my special bond with you

We shared so many laughs in the passenger seat

Making memories together that just can't be beat

Matthew, you’ve got a beautiful heart

Loving and humble right from the start

Funny and generous, shining so bright

You make the heavy days feel so light

I want you to remember, wherever you go

I've been there for your firsts, and I'm proud watching you grow

You're always so supportive when the times get tough

Just having your spirit is more than enough

You know how to smile and you know how to give

Showing everybody the right way to live

From a little boy riding in the back of the car

To my wonderful grandson, the man that you are

Every milestone you crossed, I was in the front row

Cheering your name, letting my love show

I've been by your side since the very beginning

And as long as you're happy, I know that we're winning

Oh Matthew, you’ve got a beautiful heart

Loving and humble right from the start

Funny and generous, shining so bright

You make the heavy days feel so light

I want you to remember, wherever you go

I've been there for your firsts, and I'm proud watching you grow
