For Malcolm

For Malcolm

A Poem by Jeff

I cry as you leave

Watch you be carried from me

I wonder what you think of me

When you're gone


I want to protect you

From the things I've been through

I want to show you

Everything life has in store for you


I wish you were here

I hope you're not always so far away

I hope someday

You can stay with me

i cried while reading this. raw and painful. but there's hope. and you are the most amazing father i have ever seen. and i am truly honored to witness that for the rest of my life.

in terms of the writing, the flow is beautiful. almost like a lullaby that you can't sing to him. excellent.
