Father and Son

As I watch you pack your bags

The tears fall down my cheek

All the memories  keep coming back

Your smile

Your laugh

The way you tilt your head

My God  you remind me of him so...



I  often wonder if he can see

See the young man you have become

Your dark black hair  just like his

Those brown eyes ....   oh those brown eyes

Melt any  womans heart.. they will

If only he could see

See the young man  you to be

SO young  were you  when he left

Never fully knowing who he was

But here you sit

Looking at you

I see him all over again

I just hope thru it all

You know in your heart

He didnt leave you because

He left you cause God called

And in his place  he left

This  handsome young man

So hold your head high my son

And know

In your heart  you will always be  father and son

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dylon as you go to stay with your sisters  know i love you  and  your father  would be proud  that all his children are together once more... and know  he is always in your heart ...

You have used your excellent talent to express your feelings. I felt myself choking with tears reading this one. It's well written and has a hell of an impact.
