Oh boy...

If I had a son

I would tell him to be kind

Good and sweet to girls…

If I had a son

I would tell him to open doors

I would tell him to listen to his mother

If I had a son I would tell him

To be gentle with his words

To be loving yet honest

…and to love without fear.

If I had a son he would know to move slowly

To find someone that knows…

The way to receive his soul.

If I had a son he would understand

His mother has been hurt before

He would know to try his damndest to never

Hurt a girl.

If I had a son I would love him

Allow his father 

to teach him how to be a man

If I had a son he would know

How to love a woman 

from a woman

He would listen and be strong

He would be steady

...and own his gentleness

If I had a son he would...

Know how to love from his mother

Know how to provide from his father

Know how to bless others from God

Know peace through his own understanding.

Oh boy… 

if I had a son.

…

Love & Blessings.
