A mother’s love for her son is something no one can understand but a mom. It’s a consuming, life-long love that cannot be broken.
As a mother raises her son, she watches him grow into a man she never could have imagined. Her hard work and tireless nights pay off, as he blossoms into a kind, caring, compassionate man. From training wheels to his first car, she is with him every step of the way.
But as time goes on, and he grows up, it’s time for him to meet someone new. Giving her son away on his wedding day is a bittersweet moment for a mom. It’s time to watch him give the ultimate gift, a stable life for the person he loves.
Mother-son dances are always emotional for that reason. A mom just wants one last hug before her little boy belongs to someone else.
This song is the perfect way to start a new chapter.
My friend danced to this song with her son at his wedding this year. Guess what? There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I sobbed through the entire dance. After it was over, my girlfriends and I we were all talking about how perfect the song choice was and how much it resonated with all of us. With such a tender melody it’s sure to tug at the heartstrings of even the most stoic. It truly had all of us taking a stroll down memory lane. With 8 million YouTube views and countless heartfelt testimonies, please take a listen and let me know what you think about it.
Lyrics:
Tying little shoe laces
Wiping off dirty faces
Are just a couple of things
That a mother will do…
Mending a broken heart
Is only just a part
Of the care and the love
That I’ve given you…
With a Kool-Aid smile
And a sparkle in your eyes
I wrap you in my arms
And whisper this advice…
Be strong, be kindBe patient and in time
Youll find out, my son
What true love is all about
Be faithful and be true
Show love in all you do
Then you’ll know, just how
You make your mother proud
Now, little boy days have passed
And you’ve grown up so fast
But in my heart
That little boy will never be far…
So on this blessed day
Theres so much I want to say
But above all, I thank God
For the man that you are…
With a tender smile
And a twinkle in your eyes
I wrap you in my arms
And whisper this advice…
Be strong, be kind
Be patient and in time
Youll find out, my son
What true love is all about
Be faithful and be true
Show love in all you do
Then you’ll know, just how
You make your mother proud
You’ve made your mother so proud…
