My Boy Poem by Charles Hancock

It's sometimes not easy being a dad
A combination of Mr. Fix-it and Sir Galahad
The terms and conditions that may apply
Often put my wants and needs on standby

The things you accomplish fill me with pride
Other times, your choices leave me mortified
I'm sure you inherited that from your mom
If you only knew how many times I did a face palm

Instructing you not to touch something that is hot
Watching you play with birthday gifts that you got
I often checked on you while you were dreaming
Watching you, I'm sure my face was beaming

It won't be very long and you'll be fully grown
My advice to you; take it easy with the cologne
Learn to be content with what you have got
The greatest gifts in life can't be bought

Bide your time, have fun, and don't get into a rush
One day you'll find someone that is more than a crush
Somebody with honesty, loyalty, compassion, and grit
But don't worry about crossing that bridge until you get to it
