I'm your father I want you to read this very carefully I want you to understand something I love you I will always be proud of you I'm 17 years old now You are just a thought You do not exist yet But I want to tell you this now Just in case I never come home again I love you I want you to know I wish I could be there for your birthday Wrap the presents on Christmas Give you the keys to the car When you're on your first date I want to give you the money So you can buy whatever you want But if circumstances arise and conflict that Know my dear son I love you I will be watching over you You are a Guerrero A warrior So bear through the obstacles Stay in school Get good grades Don't make the mistakes I have made Love ever minute of your life It's fragile and still young I want to watch you get married Become the man I never was Son I love you You have made me proud And you haven't even been born yet Nor have I even consummated with your mother But I want you to know I am a part of you I want you know nothing of me Just know I am your father That I love you That I am proud of you Son you have a bright future Just never let anybody say you are worthless Don't fight with your mother She loves you She had to adjust to taking care of you I wish you never have to read this Because if you do Then that means I am deceased and gone But know I love you I wish I could be there to give you the things I was never blessed with I want you to know I have been through a lot And my biggest mistake I will make Is not being there for you When you come out of your mother I want to cry when I see you I want to hold you I want to tell you I love you Look into your eyes And say "You're a better man than I" Son I love you Never stop moving Go forward and turn the world upside down You made me proud Long before you were born Because you are my son And I know you will go farther than me Because you know I love you Son Ti amo Ask your mom what that means You're not alone I'm in your veins I'm every breath you take I'm you because you are me You're my son So son, go far When it feels like a dream That's when it is real
Sincerely, Your Father, Robert L. Guerrero
