My Son

This was wrote after the divorce started between my second wife and I, mother to our son. This is a moment in time that I will share with him as he gets older.

My reflection to the world

The wonder you behold

My time with you so short

As I get my life on track

Yet very precious and dear

More I want but obligations hinder

Bachelor in residence and funds

My work is never done

I want you to see the world

As I have never done

I can hope for your future

And help you get over the past

Things between your mother and I

Fixing them is beyond my ability

Nor shall I if I was able

Someday I hope you understand

Some things in life come to pass

But I can be here for you

And I will be here for you

As your father

As your confidant

As your right-hand man

For you are my son
