Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

Happy Birthday to my only son. 

This is my song to you, as I have shared with you before. Music runs deep.

May you never doubt the beauty that is in your soul. May you continue to embrace all that you have been given and love the life you have. Keep believing in yourself. Dream. Set your goals.

And most importantly: know that there is someone up above that is watching over you.
 

Wondering how many of you know the significance of this picture?? Love to hear from you.
