Hey y'all!
<br>I was thinking about how some of the new artists have "broken in" with a heartfelt ballad that doesn't necessarily focus on a monogamous romantic relationship, i.e. Brad Paisley and Clay Davidson. (I know Brad's "HDHTB" is not his first single, but it certainly gave him a boost.) So, I was talking about this to a good friend and, forgive me, I literally said, "I should get me one of those." LOL *Doh!* I'm young, it's okay..I'll learn.
<br>Point being...I tried my hand at it and this is what I got. Whether you like it or not, please feel free to tell me what you think. :)

<br>It's been 7 years since they carried him home
<br>So soft, so small, and left all alone
<br>He's the pride and joy of the two who saved him
<br>Opened their home and asked to raise him
<br>
<br>(One night) The boy asked his dad why they don’t look the same
<br>If they’re father and son and share a last name
<br>He smiled and said, "You were a gift from above
<br>And despite our looks, we’re related by love"
<br>
<br>...And to the world is born
<br>another family
<br>Though the pieces don’t match
<br>The picture’s complete
<br>Just ask the proud father
<br>Nothing can set them apart
<br>Take a single look and see...
<br>He has his daddy's heart
<br>
<br>A few houses down in a new nursery
<br>Smiling, watching her fall asleep
<br>Thankful to find her in such a big world
<br>Are the mother and father of one baby girl
<br>
<br>And faster than time, the little girl grew
<br>She hugs her mom tightly in front of the school
<br>Her friend was there, laughing about how people say
<br>"I look more like my momma everyday"
<br>
<br>So the girl asked her mom why they don’t look the same
<br>If they’re mother and daughter and share a last name
<br>She smiled and said, "You were a gift from above
<br>And despite our looks, we’re related by love"
