Holding you high
amid the sound of birds,
and in that soar
I beheld your beauty
that met me in the sky
Your innocence
dazzled in the sunshine,
and gave me peace
beyond the world's unrest
I love you my son,
and thanks for being
an eternal part of my life

Gino,
An absolutely beautiful expression of love for your son! Totally awesome!

Thank you Laura my friend. My 2 boys are a joy to my heart, James 12 and Jon 6.
You’re welcome!
I have two sons (heck of a lot older than yours) and this could have been written for either of them - super work.
Thank you so much Michael. I'm sure your sons mean a heck of a lot to you like mine do to me, haha.
They sure do - I'm just recovering from traumatic surgery and my youngest who lives nearby has been a brick supporting my wife. My oldest has been in India all week on business - flew home last night and this morning is driving from London to see me and has been in constant touch throughout. And then there's my wonderful daughter - I just consider myself so blessed.
Blessed indeed my friend you are. Our children are a blessing, despite the bads they can at times give us. Persevere with them, and you shall grow a happy old man.
Beautifully written, Gino and a tribute to your son.
I truly enjoyed this poem and don't ever stop writing. 🙂
Thank you so much Tamara. I wont stop.

Thanks for such a tender paternal tribute to well loved sons - it warmed my heart to read the expressions from a father who cares and is able to put into poetic words the love his heart feels. Thank you for sharing those beautiful moments with us.
Thank you Fay for your kind and warm expression of youth, encapsulated in these little ones who keep me young and running after them...
