My Son
My son, I can see so many good things in you
And here I am really honest and true.
My son, I love it when your caring heart opens wide
When I had a headache you came and sat by my side
My son, some of your talents for drawing, I have seen
You are really good at it, believe me, fantastic, I mean
My son, there are really so many good things in you.
Even so far, I have mentioned just two
My son, you have a talent for language, you do
Yes learning a language is easy for you
My son, Here’s number three, there is so much more
So much more in you, I truly adore
My son, I do understand that being 14 is quite challenging
There are so many things changing
But please my very lovely son,
Keep on bringing out the good that’s in you, please keep on.
Your loving father, Papa

Could love be any greater? Good for you!
you really have poured forth the soul of a father in all chaste and pure colors of emotions while composing this apostrophe to your son...it's simple though deep and very effective! i hope he must be proud of his status as your son!
Oh so heartwarmin frm father to son! Excellent rhymin too. So sweet sincere as a poem. Make him read it poet.
Your son should be proud to have such a doting father.May the relationship thrive and your young son rise to great heights.My best wishes to father and son.I liked the poem so much.Thanks.
A beautiful poem. Just great! A proud Papa expressing boundless love for his dear son. May your bond be inseparable, and your son continues be pleasing to his loving, caring and doting father. My best to you Hans. 10
It is so important for a child to have parents who understand them in these changing times where one cannot trust any one... and especially the child needs dad(according to me) ... I love the way you understand him.. appreciate him... he is a lucky boy, indeed Papa's boy... I wish all the parents here read this and understand how important it is to to think about the child in this manner.. Thank you Sir, thank you very much! !
This is beautiful Hans! ! I lost my son 9 years ago at the age of 22. As a father, your words went straight to my heart and soul.
There is nothing sweeter and more pure than one's love for one's children. This is truly heartfelt and sincere......I love the honesty of feeling behind it, and isn't that what poetry is all about after all.....you have mastered that! I have several poems on my page about my daughters and they are among my favorites for that very reason....I feel I am at my most sincere and open when I write about them.
This is a wonderful poem! It shows the struggle of a parent to keep a child on the surface. The challenges of changes are tough not only for kids but also for the parents. Hard to see their battle and not intervene..Wonderful poem thank you for share.26144
