Foundations

So each man will look back in time taking stock in the life he led To find if he is left wanting and for who and what he has bled

Heir to the dreams of this fathers heart,Tatertot.

Man can work sunrise to sunset

and thereby finding none of joy

Look far to the past for comfort

to the days when he was a boy

 

The pleasures come in kind smiles

confirming both field and station

Building along the path of life

friendships that speak to foundation

 

A native son of the Midwest

my life and soul are both free

What I wish to share with my child

is that sweet gift once given me

 

So each man will look back in time

taking stock of the life he led

To find if he is left wanting

and for who and what he has bled

 

Those times I see in my own child

of any things he missed there’s none

Creating dreams he’ll long cherish

watching him grow in Midwest sun

Author's Note

I often wish if only all children could be so blessed. To be shined on by providence. Born a native son to the Midwest.

Cannot leave an appropriate comment to describe how much I loved this Poem...it made me cry really...Thank you Tate

[Wandering Nomad]

This was beautiful, and expressed the love and deep feelings parents have for their children. You must be a wonderful father. :)

[Kasey Jones]

Very passionate and powerful. I like the last line. This flowed very nicely.

[Seashell]

You are obviously the best Daddy...and your children could only know this in their hearts because of your words and actions. This poem tells all of this through the love that shines from it.

Thank dearest

You are so blessed to have your child, make the best memories with him. Not everyone is so lucky. I only have my dogs. Beautiful poem.

I can really feel and understand your poem. I have a son as well, now grown and 20yrs old and having loaded his car, leaving me and his mother, headed across the country to live in new orleans.; I recall my son, when he was young and walking with me in our home town.I dream about him, I miss him, and wish him well. so keep writing, you convey the feelings for love in a kind way.
