I wish you and I could have a chat, A little talk to put my mind at ease. I’m going into this without any fatherly advice. I don’t know what to expect. All I know is, I want to be just like you. Will my son say the same thing to me When he’s about to become a father? I will try my best (that’s all I can do). I miss you.
My father died before I became a father myself. I never was able to pick his brain for advice on being a father. This poem was written just before my wife gave birth, and I was missing my dad very much.
