You, My Son Poem by Randy McClave

When I was weak
You made me feel strong,
When I was sad
You filled my soul with a song,
When I was depressed
To me you would confess.
That I never did, any wrong.

When I was lost
You helped myself be found,
When I was confused
You placed my feet on the ground,
When I was alone
You would not let me moan.
From my sadness, you were my rebound

When I was thinking
You gave me a happy thought,
When I wanted to be mad
You'd tell me forget the battles I had fought,
When I felt the need to hide
You were always at my side.
You were the calm, that I had sought.

When I thought I had lost
You showed me that I won,
When I saw only clouds
You pointed out the sun,
When I saw negativity
You wished me creativity.
You were my strength, you my son.
