"It's Great to Be Your Son "
by Wes Fessler

Oh how I wish I could repay all you have done for me.
The way you sheltered me from harm, but still let me run free,
to live and learn the ways of life, with values you hold dear.
The way you shared my youthful years with gentleness and cheer.
My debt is great for your concern about the way I grew.
You understood my heart, and when I needed help you knew.
I never had to worry when I needed your support.
You gave me all I needed, and I never came out short.
You went without the things you need so I'd have what I like.
You went without new clothes so I could have that brand new bike.
It was that way with everything, you always thought of me,
and gave your all to help me be the man that I should be.
Oh how I wish I could repay the many things you've done.
Dear mother, I love you so much. It's great to be your son.
