I've always thought this Carole King song was the perfect Mother/Son tribute to the one who made us what we are today. Even though the song is told from the mother's point of view, somehow it ends up working perfectly as a glorification of mothers from the child's point of view . . . at least that's what I find in it.
Happy Mother's Day!
Although you see the world different than me,
Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see.
And all the new colors and pictures you've designed,
Oh yes sweet darling so glad you are a child of mine.
Child of mine, child of mine, oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine.
You don't need directions, you know which way to go,
And I don't want to hold you back I just want to watch you grow.
You're the one who taught me you don't have to look behind.
Oh yes sweet darling, so glad you are a child of mine.
Child of mine child of mine, oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine.
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life.
There'll always be people who make it hard for a while,
But you'll change their heads when they see you smile.
The times you were born in may not have been the best,
But you can make the times to come better than the rest.
I know you will be honest if you can't always be kind,
Oh yes sweet darling, so glad you are a child of mine.
