For In The Name Of My Son

For some strange reasons, I wrote this for my son, Jonathan Matthew, as a Christmas gift of 2007 for him when he was only 2 at that time. But he will read it when he get older.

 

Out Of All Of My Whole Entire Life

I've Never Really Believed In The Miracle At All

Not Even Half Close Enough To Believe In The Light

 

Until The Day You Were Born That Had Left Me Breathless

 

The First Look At You;

The First Smell Of You;

The First Sound From You;

The First Touch On You;

 

Everything About Your First Appearance Had Left Me Speechless

 

That Day You Were Born, You've Became My True Salvation

I've Never Knew That There Are So Much Joy

All From Just Only One Simple Little Boy

I Fell In Love After The Fact That You're Already My Son

 

Whenever You're Around, I've Become So Grateful

You've Given Me So Much Of The Pleasant

As You're My Natual Drug Of Anti-Depressant

The Fact Of Having You As My Son, I'm So Thankful

 

I Don't Know What I Would Do Without You

And I Wouldn't Dare To Think About It For A Moment

Only To Think And Remember About Our Times Together

And To Believe Of What's The Best For You

I Was Never Taught How To Be Your Father

 

Except For You

 

You've Taught Me How To Be Your Father

As Much As I'm Teaching You To Be My Son

I Always Will Be Your Best Friend

 

Yes, I May Be Your Father;

Yet, I Always Will Be Your Teacher

 

Yes, I May Be Your Mentor;

Yet, I Always Will Be Your Protector

 

I Was Once Nobody's Gladiator, But Now I'm Your Protector

I Always Will Be There For You All The Way To The End

 

Only Just For Your Life;

Only Just For Your Love;

Only Just For Your Legacy;

 

Altogether In Order To Build Up Your Own Personal Legend

 

I'll Always Will Be Your Own Personal Gargoyle;

The Perfect Type Of The Kind To Be Your Guardian

And There's Nothing In This World Will Take Us Apart

And Nothing Will Stop The True Beatings Of Our Hearts

 

At Any Costs; At All Costs; No Matter What;

My Ultimate Sacrifice Is For Your Salvation

 

That's My Promise Toward You

Not Just Because I'm Your Father,

Only Because I Love You Within All Of My Heart And Soul

 

Author's Note

What can I say? I love my son so damn much.

touchy, so deeply touchy..you really did pour your heart out my friend and it's really nice to see a father's love testimony to his son. the flow is'nt too smooth(just an unecessary observation :-) ) but the lines add up to a master piece. it has this energy radiating from it that makes one want to go out, call his child,hug him/her and say "i love you"

[Sally Edwards]

What a beautiful poem, your son will love this when he reads it in years to come. Gorgeous words and your love for him shines through in your writing. What a wonderful gift.

[Cre8tiveheart]

I loved this piece. I agree, there is no way of knowing how much love one holds within themselves until they are blessed with having a child. I have two myself and know that I would give my live for them. Your little boy will treasure the words from your heart that were written for him!

[Adel Eyes]

it does not flow as smoothly as some of your other pieces
but it is still good work

[Star-Runner]

So very touching and moving I like your write you have penned for your son.

[WitchfinderGeneral]

We all heard the old statement that there is nothing stronger than a mother's love for her child.......it is a bit refreshing to see that there are fathers out there that feel the same . :o)

Wonderfully touching Joseph !

[Chad Wesley Allbrett]

Wow you got to me there mate, I so know how you feel! One does not really know about love until they have a child, and you never know till you get there about how overwhelming it is. Until you have your own child, you don't ever get close to knowing that intense, all consuming feeling.
Thank you, that was a wonderful read.
I wrote one about my boy Benjamin too, and I was glad to read this tender poem of yours.

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

This is written sorta like a poem from 'Susan Polis Schultz' one of my favorite poets. Yes, very good present for your son, I am sure he will find it a piece in his heart to hold into. I dont have any children, but I was told once you do nothing else in life matters. they are your world. good way at expressing that, in this piece.

Joe, this is breathtaking....what an incredibly beautiful poem for your son!

"I've Never Knew That There Are So Much Joy

He will be very proud of this poem when he is a little older, and very proud of his daddy, too.
This was a pleasure to read.

When I read this, I wanted to cry. I can feel just how much a father is suppose to love his child and just how much you love your son. I grew up without my father but reading this masterpiece has made me feel what a father is suppose to be. It may sound strange, but I want to thank you for writing this. It shows what love truely is which is so important. Wonderful job!
