My Son

Folder: 
Essay

how could have I forgotten you

when I gave you life and planned your destiny

how could have I written all these poems

and skip the only son I dreamt of having.

Is it because I always took for granted

that I will always be around?, and if, God forbid,

tomorrow I leave,I will never forgive myself,

not giving you my best critique.



you are my only son, and I'm proud to say you

have gained my trust and respect, you toiled

hard and passed all your exams, got your degree

and bid goodbye.You travelled far to a cold and

strange land, did not complain when the going

got tough,day and night you worked and called

just to let me know you're doing fine.



now that you head your department dear, a wife and

a kid,all rolled into one,what a beautiful family

you have built,complete with a dog and a cat I

suppose. I will always remember the day that you

came, you looked like a frog and all wrinkled up,

but my goodness!look at you now so goodlooking

and kind, maybe your daddy and I had a hand at it too.



how do you end a poem to your love one, when all the

things you want to say are not enough, how do I tell you

that I am complete,that the joy and happiness you gave

can never be replaced.So if you want to be thankful for all

the blessings you've received,just remember this darling...

Love your family the way I love you!

Wow mom, what can I say...the success and blessings that I have now will not be possible if you and Dad did not raise me the way I am now.I owe it to you and if Nani cried with her poem, My Princess, My Son, is as beautiful and as touching,wish Dad could see you now.I love you mom.

Brilliant and fantastic V, consider revising to 'how could i have'......, then the second too. Success.
