My Boys by Jeff Hayman

My boys, this is your dad.
I'd like to share some things that I have learned.
I want to share with you who I am,
And things you need to know about this world.

Before I was your dad, not yet a man,
I was a boy.
I liked to ride my bike, I liked to dance.
I loved my parents and my best friends were toys.
Then on the year that I turned ten,
Things all changed when my grandmother died.
It was around when I realised,
All we really have is time.

So make the most of what you've got,
And don't be scared to take a shot.
You'll never sail if you don't face the sea.
if you don't climb you'll never reach the top.

There will be girls who'll break your heart.
You'll feel pain but you'll restart.
Someday you'll find someone who sees who you are.
They'll love you more than the night sky has stars.
And my boys, I don,t know it all.
And the more that I learn, I learn there's even more.
One thing I know, one thing I'm certain of.
My boys, you'll always have my love.

So make the most of what you've got,
And don't be scared to take a shot.
You'll never sail if you don't face the sea.
If you don't climb you'll never reach the top.
So make the most of what you've got,
And don't be scared to take a shot.
You'll never sail if you don't face the sea.
if you don't climb you'll never reach the top.

My boys, I'll see you at the top.
