Proud Mother

I think you’d be proud of me

I really believe you would

I am driving in that  big stretch limo

Just like I always said I should

Yea I know it not the same

Because I don’t sit in the back

I’m just moving back their slowly

At least I might be on the right track

I think you’d be proud of me

Got another book published today

I think you’d like this one, I do

I had something important to say

Well no it’s not a best seller

No, my other one’s out of print

At least I’m making progress

Someday someone will take the hint

I  think you’d be proud of me

I live in a nice new house at last

Yea I know it’s highly mortgaged

But it’s better then I had in past

Little dreams come true they say

I dream of you Mom and Dad, a lot

I wonder if you guys are proud of me

I still can’t be someone I’m not

You know Mom, I do think you’d be proud of me

As you gaze down from heaven’s gate

Proud of the man I have become,

Proud even if things for me came a little late

I am a loving husband at least I try to be

A father who tried to do his best for all

A grandfather now who spoils his two little girls

Yea, you’d be proud of me because you’d know…

in these loved ones eyes I stand  so tall!
