Son

Sleep baby boy Sleep

The time has come for you to lie

Hash baby boy hash

The time has come for you to calm

Shush baby boy shush

The lights are out and the streets are quiet

The stars are out and the moon is full

Dusk came along and darkness came upon

 

But hash baby boy hash

No need to worry no need to cry

For your mama and papa are here

Here to protect you, here to hold you

Here to cherish you, here to raise you

Hash baby boy hash

 

Dream sweet dreams my baby

For dawn will come and the birds will sing

The c**k will crow and the day will break

The sun will rise and you will shine

 

You kick and punch, you scratch and bite

Calm down my son

Life is not easy

People will put you down

Assert and push you down

Don't listen to them

Don't give them the time of day

For you are special just the way you are

You are great just the way we made you

 

Believe in yourself

Do good

Work hard

Let loose sometimes

For life is short

If you fall life still goes on

 

Don’t give up

Do not be like your mother and father

We were humble

You can be bigger

You can be better

You can be anything

 

Make friends at school

But be careful who you trust

Follow your heart but be careful where it takes you

 

Women will throw themselves at your perfect looks

Look at their beauty but read at their hearts

And one day you will start a family and have a son of your own

Family is all that matters so do not ignore them

Money is important but not as good as a stable home

 

You were the product of our love, the proof of our affection

You were no accident, you were a miracle

But do not be like you mother and your father

We were humble peasants

Follow your heart

Be who you want to be

Is it bad that I am tearing up? It's made very well and speaks to a kid/teen who are about to enter into the real world.
