My Son

How fortunate I am to be the father of this child

Time runs like a river onto the sea.

Author's Note

I can't think of anything sweeter than to have your own child run down the hall screaming Daddies home.

Good looking boy Tate, and your sentiments here are awesome. Who should be jealous of whom my friend, as I wish that I could own that honouring to have a son. To own that experience that has at this time of my life evade me. I least i can be happy for my friend and hope rises through that torch passed on. I wish him well and know he has a firm foundation in which to start having Tate Morgan, as a Father.

This has special meaning to me. I should two sons (and a third child which I don't know if it was a boy or girl) running up to be with daddy right now. It's the main reason why I feel as I do.

"be mindful where your shadow cast as he is always watching you" oh what an excellent reference to the perils of behaving poorly in front of your children, for they look to you as the example of exemplary behavior, and if
you confuse that young mind by becoming the beast, well, be careful what ye sow, as so shall ye reap.
beautifully expressed and massively impressive. tate, you have another big one here.

Adorable kid, and this poem is awesome.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Wow! Awesome and I cannot think of anything any sweeter.

A truly amazing job here Tate. I wish I could mark a score for this review as well. I would give it a 110 percent. You entered this poem into my original writings contest, and this definitely fits in. I really like how you created an image with your son with the poem embedded. The song is also perfect for this writing. One thing that caught my eye was your use of the word strait. At first I thought it was an error, and I thought you meant straight. I looked up strait, and I think that was your intention. Great job!

Amen! This is beautiful man. There is no more important job than being a dad. Good lookin kid, and by your inspired words, I can tell that you love him with everything you've got. Powerful piece! Cheers!
