I've read what you've written
Listened and listened with ears perked
Tried not to give too much advice
Because who listens to that
Anyway

I ******* up so many, many times
As a father, as a friend, as a lover
But thats what humans do
Trying so hard to do the right thing, ohhhh hindsight
Yes

You are so adorable in all your phases
From the moment your tiny bodies were in my arms
To the last time I hugged you.....so grown up
Worries, concerns, hopes, fears, triumphs, failures
Love

Reading your poems brought tears and smiles
Inspired me who once also wrote
Words and pages lost forever
Rhymes and seasons long forgotten, frail paper gone
Dust

You make me proud just by Being
Never mind what you become or not
Beautiful hearts with mine joined
I am you, you are I, together we are
Forever
