Fearless climber of mine
Daring ascending the doom.
Held only by his wit
Up to where the clouds loom.
I\'m but an insect below
His beyond my horizon gaze
He\'s circumspect
Scaling aerial ways unfrayed
Watching him grow aloft
Unburdened by resentment,
An angel\'s demeanor soft,
Of character and contentment.
My baby, my boy, my son, now giant of a man.
Your Dad, beneath, face aglow, a most adamant fan.
