My Sons Keeper


A Poem by Tate Morgan
"
My son how I love him.
"


dad24

 

I am my lifes sole keeper;
In the garden of my dreams.
Within it dwell the great hopes;
along with all my schemes.

Why for me only the hard way;
has taught my mind since youth?
Does it seem could be no other;
than fact and cold hard truth.

I chose the road that I tread;
from my bold disdaining action.
I would never listen to another;
except to my own satisfaction.

Lucky that he knows me not;
For my sadness hides regret.
As they who think to know me;
Know less the nearer they get.

My son how I do love him?
Pleasing most his dreams within.
But all I want for his heart;
is to not go where I've been.

Tate

Here you shed some light on much of what may have brought that wisdom and passion into your writing.. giving another very small glimpse of who you are inside.. which is great! I loved your photo of you and your son here.. he is so precious in this photo. They are so innocent and when we reflect ourselves looking at them.. we wish only the best and for them not to make the same mistakes that we have made in life... that is the heart of a truly loving parent. Loved the flow, rhythm and rhyme.. and the hard way seems to be an addiction for many in life.. I've known that only to well myself.. was taught to never take the easy road in life... I wouldn't change a thing.

I am sure that many who read your poetry will not know you as they think.. only by what you chose to portray.. that is truly at the hands of any artist. I just know you can write very well.. I can tell you've had a long path.. by that wisdom.. and so many other writings that I have read. These days there is no such thing as a perfect angel.. we are all tainted in some way or another.. as being human. Great work here.. keep it up!
