My Son

I place the highest value upon

The one who helps me to be strong

The light of my life and favorite boy

My son, Richie, is my pride and joy.

I acquired him through a bad choice

But I quickly learned to use my voice

Got us both up out of there

Life's not perfect to be fair

But we have made it pretty far

We saved up and got a car

Now we're getting our own place

Our little journey has been a race.
