Te Veo y Me Veo

Hey
I remember that day since then
I came down from San Juan to Ponce
To hear your heartbeat, oh
That was back in 2011
And I heard around 11
Congratulations, you’re having a boy, oh
You gave me the title of father
Just like your mother
And that class in school never happened
There wasn’t a manual that gave me
Answers to my questions
But love easily solved them
And I was covering your mother’s cravings
Day and night and in the early hours
It felt like you were in a game from the womb
'Cause I could feel those kicks so well
And it was nine months
That I joyfully waited for you
Nine months that I also got anxious
I set up a crib that you never used
I painted your room and prepared for your arrival
Nine months
That I joyfully waited for you
Nine months
And look how you’ve grown
And we’re so alike that

When I see you, I see myself
And it’s my wish, that you live to the fullest
When I see you, I see myself
And it’s my wish, that everything goes well for you

Hey
My teenager, it’s time for you to sit down
'Cause you need to be aware of something I want to explain
The world is tough and don’t rely on luck
'Cause what entertains you can also lead you astray
Seek the source of life and be diligent
With the time invested on your knees to fill you up
And give thanks to the Lord all your life
When you get up and before you go to bed
And don’t forget about honor, respect, obedience
And once in a while a couple of messages
Those spontaneous hugs that life gives us
My son, I need them too
So you keep brightening my mornings
So you help scare off the boys from your sister
I’ll be in the corner of your fights
To always help you when the bell rings
Watch out for fools and who you associate with
And don’t put a stranger above your family
Always stay straight, focused, and vigilant
And remember, God doesn’t like lukewarm people
You have an identity stamped
You should never prove anything to peer pressure
Your gaze should always be on God
And may blessings fall on you like a waterfall

When I see you, I see myself
And it’s my wish, that you live to the fullest
When I see you, I see myself
And it’s my wish, that everything goes well for you

May God bless you, my son
And always remember your creator
In the days of your youth
And what’s left of life
Dad loves you, mom does too
From A to Z
