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

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"

truly written from the heart and it does my heart good to hear that a man can express his love for his son so well..very nicely done! Every child should be so lucky.

A heartwarming piece. The emotions you convey here are very raw, and portrayed magnificently. I also love the unique style in which it was written.
There are many children today who are forced to live without the love of a parent, which impacts their lives more than one can comprehend. Everyone needs this love, and your son is very lucky to have you.

Yrs.

A mothers / fathers love - nothing compares.

What a beautiful poem!!! This piece brought tears to my eyes! the world needs more fathers like you! this piece really shows that there is a strong bond between a father and his child. Most of the time poems like this are about the bond between mother and child, but you have done an exellent job in showing that the bond is just as great between a father and son!

Your poem explains some of my mom's overprotectiveness of me. Just wish for some breathing space from her. The love, you express here is the type that will allow for the growth of both father and son. Thank you for sharing this very emotional poem with us.
