For my son
You’re at your daddy’s house
But I’m thinking of you
And someday
I think you might like to know that
The place you hold in my heart
Does not vanish when you leave
The house or my sight
Today you are
A relatively carefree little boy
Who loves his mommy and daddy
Even though
They don’t love each other
At least not the way
They used to
Someday
You will be a much bigger boy
Someday a man
In order that you may
Grow into every last inch of
Who you can be
I will make damn certain
You know everyday that
I love you
I am amazed by you
I am delighted with you
I will not depend on you
Nor will I live through you
I want to see you grow and thrive and
Pull away from me
When the time comes
I will let you go

I haven't been by here for awhile, nor have I been to my own, either. But now I discover that you have two collections in print and I've just ordered them from Lulu!
Actually, I'm glad I haven't been by for awhile- now I have a whole bunch of your things to read..
Blessings!
Good to see you again, Barry. I'm no longer on Poets.com. Accidentally cancelled my membership- it's a long story, and it takes true talent to type "yes" into that field and push enter without realizing what you're doing. ;-)
I hope you enjoy the books. Do feel free to spread the word, and contact me anytime at warriorpoet7@gmail.com.
Take care.
