....................
Girls will love you
Boys will hate you
Teachers will test you
Coaches will push you
Life will try and break you
and that is why I'm here
When you need a hand to hold
Or a place to rest
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Or a place to call home
That is why I am here
When you need to know what love is
Or why bad things happen
When you can't find the answers
Or even know the question
That is why I'm here
When you need reassurnace
Or picked up from the ground
When it's time to celebrate you
Or toot your own horn
That is why I'm here
To my teenage son before you start High School-
Girls will love you
Boys will hate you
Teachers will test you
Coaches will push you
Life will try and break you
and that is why I'm here
