What a sweet story about you and your son. So sweet.

You said you were looking for a song how you feel about your son, but there is a song that came to mind, but it is more maternal, from the son's point of view. Paul Simon's Loves Me Like A Rock.
When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy)
And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)
Id say now who do,
Who do you think youre fooling? (when I was just a boy)
Im a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy)
Im a singer in a sunday choir
Oh , my mama loves, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man)
And the devil would call my name (grown to be a man)
Id say now who do,
Who do you think youre fooling? (grown to be a man)
Im a consummated man (grown to be a man)
I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
And if I was president (was the president)
The minute congress call my name (was the president)
Id say who do,
Who do you think youre fooling? (who do you think youre fooling)

Ive got the presidential seal (was the president)
Im up on the presidential podium
My mama loves me
She loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me

Fade out:
She love me, love me, love me, love me
(loves me like a rock)

But then a sweet song I have always loved is Bacharach's 'Reach Out For Me'
When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking

Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry, I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes, I will
Comfort you and love you
Oh how I'm gonna love you

When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
Could throw in the towel and just give in

Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry, I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes, I will
Comfort you and love you
Oh how I'm gonna love you

They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking

Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry, I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes, I will
Comfort you and love you
Oh how I'm gonna love you


Good luck in finding the right song. Someone should write a song for you.
