FATHER'S ECHO

Very few things like the love of a father and son.

 

A blessing at birth; a human fragment of my soul
An exemplar of sheer love, sent by God to make me whole
He smiles at me with admiration and his eyes mirror mine
He sees me as his teacher; I am a cautious voice to his curious mind
His love for me is precious; few things are stronger then bairn love
It illustrates the relationship of the father and son above
I was charged to be his caretaker to guide him forward every day
I steer him around the pitfalls that seek to swallow him up along the way
He is my soul's reverberation; yet he remains my majestic boy
He is the echo of my heart that transmits my resounding joy
I was born to have him; he is a justification of my soul 
A pure example of God's love, he is my son; that makes me whole

soooooooooooooo sweet!
i can see that whatever comes in your heart you just write it down in a very very very beautiful way, you just let the words dance, just telling the whole world your pure true natural feelings, with a chocolate coating.
really thanks for sharing with a coating of smile...

Thank you, I try to open up and be honest to feelings when I write. It is not always easy but I love the way it turns out.

Very nice work Eddie! Fathers have a very important role in the household, it's to back some think that role can be replaced.
