This Son by Fred Donald Brace

I could have bought you diamonds,

or candy's layered in gold.

Flowers to fill your senses,

or a beautiful card big and bold.

Jewelry to adorn you,

or perfumes to make you smell,

but I am just a son who love's you,

and a son who thinks your swell.

If I had all the money in the world,

and by now you know I don't.

I'd lavish you with riches,

but with no money you know I won't

If I could have just one wish,

and I swear this much is true.

I would not think of myself dear Mother

I would give the wish to you.

I may not have been the son

which was send from Heaven above,

but I promise you with all of my heart

you do have all of this son's love.
