Son I'm Proud Of You

Son I am so proud of you

and I want you to know.

The way you pave your way through life

to work, learn, love and grow.

You're admirable in all you do

contented, fair and just.

To see you grow up so fine

into a man of worldly trust.

You haven't heard your dad say

to often as you know.

I love you very much son

as I hope this note will show.

Grown Up To Fast

From babe, to tot, to teen to man

How quickly time has passed.

It seems to me I blinked to long

You’ve grown up way to fast.

One day spade and bucket

then skates and skinned knees.

Before I knew it you were asking

For the car and keys.

My son I can’t believe I’m saying

be careful with the car.

Don’t go to fast, be careful

and don’t take it too far.

I know I’ve made many mistakes

at your growths, different stages.

But son there is no written rules

in the Dads, Handbook, pages.

Being your dad is my life

you are my pride and joy.

Throughout all my living years

you’ll always be my boy.

Sorry Son, I Love You

It's sad how men are often taught

to with-hold love to their son.

That life is hard, tough and mean

and time is not for fun.

 Then one sad day I realized

though it may be to late.

To realize my mistake

is past the used by date.

 But it's never to late rectify 

or change my train of thought.

and tell my son I'm sorry

what I believed was right, was taught.
