Hudson

Sun comes up and he’s already gone,

Working on his jump shot before the break of dawn.

Bat on his shoulder, sneakers tied tight,

Always chasing greatness, doing what’s right.

Never backs down from a challenge ahead,

Keeps his cool instead of losing his head.

He’s got a champion’s hustle and a servant’s heart,

That’s what makes Hudson stand apart.

He’s never too busy to stop and care,

Always making sure everyone’s there.

The strongest people don’t always shout,

Sometimes they’re the ones who quietly help out.

That’s Hudson, yeah that’s our guy,

Always giving everything he can try.

Running every base, taking every shot,

Giving all he’s got with everything he’s got.

He’s the teammate everybody wants around,

Lifting others up when they’re feeling down.

A leader by example every single day,

Showing us all there’s a better way.

Little brother’s watching every move he makes,

Learning from the choices and the paths he takes.

Little sisters know they’ll always be safe,

Because Hudson’s got their backs every step of the way.

He’ll shoot some hoops or throw the ball around,

Turn an ordinary afternoon into the best in town.

He makes people laugh, he makes people smile,

Makes every moment feel worthwhile.

When the game’s on the line and the pressure is high,

You’ll never see Hudson stop trying.

Win or lose, he’ll shake your hand,

Because respect is what he’ll always stand for.

He’s got faith that’s steady like an old oak tree,

Trusting God’s plan for who he’ll be.

Every blessing, every test, every open door,

Makes him stronger than the day before.

He’s the first one there to lend a hand,

Helping family whenever he can.

Opening doors, carrying the load,

Choosing kindness on every road.

He’s got courage when things get tough,

A gentle heart that’s more than enough.

The coolest guy with the warmest smile,

Making life brighter mile by mile.

Hey! Throw the ball!

Hey! Take the shot!

Hudson’s giving everything he’s got!

Hey! Run the bases!

Hey! Touch home!

No matter where he goes, he’ll never stand alone!

That’s Hudson, yeah that’s our guy,

A heart that’s bigger than the open sky.

Basketball courts and baseball fields,

Are only part of what his story reveals.

He’s a loving big brother through and through,

The kind of friend who’s always true.

An amazing son with a faithful heart,

Living every day like a brand-new start.

He’s got dreams that are reaching high,

But he keeps both feet on the ground nearby.

God’s still writing every page, every line,

And we know the best is coming in His time.

So keep on running, keep on believing,

Keep on giving, keep achieving.

Stay the young man you’ve always been,

Full of grace, full of joy, full of strength within.

Because trophies fade and records fall,

But your heart will outshine them all.

We’ll always cheer, we’ll always sing,

For Hudson—the teammate, the brother, the son, the friend, the believer… our champion.
