Always Your Home

.... für meinen Sohn Robin The day you came into this world, I held a miracle in my hands. So small, so fragile, so alive, A future I could never plan. I watched your breathing through the night, Afraid the stars might steal your light. Every laugh, every tear, every mile, I'd trade my whole life for your smile. And every step you learned to take, I was learning too. How to love beyond myself, How to give my world to you. My son, You don't know how proud I am. From your first cry to where you stand, I've given all I had to give. My son, Follow every dream you see. Don't become who I want you to be, Become the man you're meant to live. And wherever life may lead, You'll always be a part of me. There were dreams I left behind, Roads I chose not to pursue. Not because they lost their shine, But because I believed in you. Every game, every broken heart, Every victory, every new start. I stood beside you through it all, Ready whenever you would call. And every mountain that you climbed, Felt like mine somehow. Seeing who you've grown into, Makes me grateful now. My son, You don't know how proud I am. From your first cry to where you stand, I've given all I had to give. My son, Follow every dream you see. Don't become who I want you to be, Become the man you're meant to live. And wherever life may lead, You'll always be a part of me. Now you're eighteen, finding your way, Standing at the edge of your own days. I know the world can be unkind, And I can't walk every road you'll find. It's hard to loosen these hands, Hard to trust what life has planned. But love means learning to let go, And having faith you'll learn and grow. So take the chances, make mistakes, Find your truth, whatever it takes. The boy I carried is now a man, And stronger than I ever planned. My son, You don't know how proud I am. Every challenge, every stand, Has shaped the man you've grown to be. My son, The world is waiting, spread your wings. Go discover everything, And become all you're meant to be. And when the nights feel long and cold, Remember what I've always told: You are loved more than words can say. You were my light from your first day. And no matter how far you roam, My heart will always be your home.
