Sweet Summer days
Full of clever play
Soda’s on the porch
To cool Summer’s scorch
Helping you garden
Muddy hands harden
Popcorn and movies
Rewards for done duties
These memories, sweet
Yet bitter defeat
How else do I feel
When, from words I reel
A child never more
My love you abhor
I’m a man today
The child within stays
With my son embraced
Sullen thoughts race
No limits to love
So I pray above
Not conditional
When transitional
When he is a man
My love will still stand
It’s an oath I pledge
Through life’s muck you dredge
I’ll offer support
To hell I’ll retort
Wisdom and strength
I’ll stop at no length
As you grow you’ll see
My boy you will be
