I'm writing a song for my son's 18th birthday. This is a slow song and emotionally moving. Here are the lyrics: Verse 1 Jonathan…Before you step out into the world,I need to leave these words with you.Eighteen years went by like a sunrise I didn’t know would fade so soon. I remember your tiny hand wrapped around my thumb,your shades matching mine,your laughter filling rooms I haven’t stood in for a long, long time. Chorus And if the world ever feels too heavy,if the road ever feels too long,remember the boy who flew through the hallway in my arms like he belonged to the sky.Remember the God who caught your heart the day you said yes to Him.My son…even in this distance,you were never carried by my hands alone. Verse 2 I’ve missed a year and a half of your life,and I know that weighed on you.But the memories we made still breathe in me—train tracks on the bedroom floor,grease on your fingers from helping me fix the car,grass on your legs from cutting the yard long before your legs were long enough. We built our own kingdom when the girls were gone—Madden games I could never win,Kung Fu theater spilling into the yard,two drunken masters laughing at lifelike it couldn’t touch us. And son…I know my absence touched you too.I felt it every night. Chorus And if the world ever feels too heavy,if the road ever feels too long,remember the boy who flew through the hallway in my arms like he belonged to the sky.Remember the God who caught your heart the day you said yes to Him.My son…even in this distance,you were never carried by my hands alone. Final Letter (Bridge/Outro) Jonathan…You’re stepping into manhood now,but you carry every moment we lived,every lesson, every laugh,every prayer I ever whispered over you. And if I leave you with anything,let it be this truth—the greatest honor of my life was leading you to Christ. Walk forward.Stand tall.And when life shakes you,or when you miss me,or when the silence feels too loud,remember whose hands have always held you. My son…I never stopped loving you.

Jonathan…Before you step out into the world,I need to leave these words with you.Eighteen years went by like a sunrise I didn’t know would fade so soon.
I remember your tiny hand wrapped around my thumb,your shades matching mine,your laughter filling rooms I haven’t stood in for a long, long time.
And if the world ever feels too heavy,if the road ever feels too long,remember the boy who flew through the hallway in my arms like he belonged to the sky.Remember the God who caught your heart the day you said yes to Him.My son…even in this distance,you were never carried by my hands alone.
I’ve missed a year and a half of your life,and I know that weighed on you.But the memories we made still breathe in me—train tracks on the bedroom floor,grease on your fingers from helping me fix the car,grass on your legs from cutting the yard long before your legs were long enough.
We built our own kingdom when the girls were gone—Madden games I could never win,Kung Fu theater spilling into the yard,two drunken masters laughing at lifelike it couldn’t touch us.
And son…I know my absence touched you too.I felt it every night.
And if the world ever feels too heavy,if the road ever feels too long,remember the boy who flew through the hallway in my arms like he belonged to the sky.Remember the God who caught your heart the day you said yes to Him.My son…even in this distance,you were never carried by my hands alone.
Jonathan…You’re stepping into manhood now,but you carry every moment we lived,every lesson, every laugh,every prayer I ever whispered over you.
And if I leave you with anything,let it be this truth—the greatest honor of my life was leading you to Christ.
Walk forward.Stand tall.And when life shakes you,or when you miss me,or when the silence feels too loud,remember whose hands have always held you.My son…I never stopped loving you.
