A child no more, you're becoming a man.
I must let you grow, I know I can.

I must trust in the job that I've done,
while raising you my precious son.

I must trust you've learned your lessons well,
and that one day you'll have tales to tell.

I must trust that the lessons I've taught,
have given you the start they ought.

I must trust that you are on the right track,
and that if you need me you'll come back.

I must have faith that you know your heavenly Father,
if you don't your life will be much harder.

I must accept the fact that you have grown,
and soon you will be going out on your own.

It is up to you to prove me right,
and doing the best you can will be my delight.

A child no more, a boyhood outgrown,
soon to be the best man I've ever known.
