Love Dad

As you my son become a man
18 years is what we’ve had
I’ve treasured all the good and bad
As you my son become a man

From here on out
It’s your choice
To pick the path you choice to walk
Though to some extent we’re born that way
And the law provides this special day

But only you can sign your name
And only you can take the blame
And only you can obligate
And only you control your fate

So here’s to all the time we’ve had
Could have been a much better dad
But will you know one thing is true
No one’s ever loved a child more than I love you

Love without conditions is
The very best there is to give
With the brightest days and darkest nights, son
Nothing ever dimmed that light

So travel far, travel wide
Never even go outside
Man my love for you will always stay 
As strong as it is on this 
Your 18th birthday
Love dad
Love dad
Love you with all my heart son
