[00:21.487] I've watched you grow, from first kick, to first kiss
[00:25.336] Shoulder rides to sleepless nights
[00:28.557] Felt tip crows to scoring goals, and bedtime Katamino
[00:33.915] Watched you hold your own from boy to man
[00:36.399] As you stand firm, bare and bold, not afraid to walk alone
[00:41.530] Reveal your pain. Unique. Defiant. Uncompromising
[00:47.621] And with our compass lost, we talked long into the darkest hours
[00:51.347] Until we saw the burnished sky, and our eyes stung as our words blurred and became thoughts
[00:58.991] As we were silenced by the dawn
[01:02.335] We clung to each other like sailors in a storm as our world pitched and bucked, our breath stolen by grief
[01:09.775] But you stood strong, filled such big boots
[01:13.320] Gripped to the helm and steered us on into the calm
[01:16.029] Abandoned your lifetime ambition, to hold us down
[01:19.741] Took on a different mission, while we were turned inside out, raw and gaping
[01:25.112] But you wrapped us up in your dream, realised your vision and fed us with your words of power
[01:32.085] Like buccaneers, we sailed the seven seas and drank in the wonders of your world, and returned giddy with the heady smell of your success
[01:41.436] And when that time came, oh did we weep,
[01:45.181] but the tears that streaked our cheeks were stained with glee because we knew that this was not goodbye,
[01:51.832] that you'd be back, that you'd never really left
[01:54.873] Because love does not lessen by miles it's not locked out by doors or walls,
[02:00.652] but reinforced in thought and heart
[02:03.740] It cannot be lost like a key or a sock,
[02:06.730] or left behind in a box, it is present in each and every breath and flows deep with every beat and deed
[02:15.996] It may not be your presence but it's your essence that remains.
[02:20.754] Forever dancing like glitter in our air
[02:25.117] And now it's as clear to me my beautiful boy,
[02:28.567] as naked as the joy that caresses the creases of your eye,
[02:32.505] that you've finally found your one, your golden snitch, and my task is done
[02:38.978] For I've gained a daughter
[02:43.274] I've not lost a son
[02:48.049] Ma, [sigh] you wait till Emily hears that, you wait till the world hears that, Fuuuuuu
[02:59.040] Do you like it?
[03:00.326] It's even better than the first one
[03:01.767] Oh my days
