Story behind the song

This song is for my son in celebration of his 40th Birthday.

Lyrics

I still recall the day they gently placed you in my arms
I promised you I’d do my best to keep you from all harm
I didn’t understand then just how hard that task would be
In retrospect I realize that it wasn’t up to me

I want to take you in my arms and gently kiss away the pain
I want to wipe away the tears and watch your face light up again
I know that there were times I failed to do those things for you
But now if you’ll allow me – that’s what I want to do


Now there were disappointments that we both found hard to bear
And sometimes in my grieving I forgot that you were there
So you know our experience will not have been in vain
I want to say I love you and I understand your pain

I’d like to tell you that I’ll be your shelter from the storm
That even in the coldest night I’ll keep you safe and warm
But in my strength I’m limited in all that I can do
So I promise that I’ll do my best to just be there for you
