I Pray

I used to laugh and say the world

Had gone crazy.

Now I look at my son and pray

It isn\'t true.

My own childhood innocence

Seems so hazy.

With things how they are what is a parent

Supposed to do?

I guess my worries are just those

Any parent fears.

I want to be there always to hold him

When he cries.

I pray he trusts and depends on me

Through the years.

I hope he knows I\'m there to support him

With anything he tries.

I worry about what is right or wrong,

How to teach it.

I try to make sure he grows to be

A good man.

I pray his heart stays true and I\'m always able

To reach it.

I pray for these things with

Everything I am.
