Our son: the apple of our eye, our dream, our hope, our joy.
Our brightest, best and fairest . . .  but you know, boys will be boys.

He’ll climb the highest ladder, to succeed where we once failed.
Forget the weak foundations, there’s mountains to be scaled!

And if someone ever spots the cracks, we’ll make sure he’s never shamed.
What’s an honest education, when it’s so easy to shift blame?

And when he leaves his family hungry and his wife puts blame on us.
We’ll point to the medals he’s brought home and do our best to hide the rust.
