POEM FOR MY SON Dear Son, by the time you read this, I will probably be gone, I want you to know, that I wasn’t amiss, I fought to the bone, So that I could give you, your daily kiss, But legal battles alone, Sent me deep into the abyss, I wanna say I Love you, I always will. For almost seven years, We were together every day, All is now down to tears, I can’t even find a way, Meditation and prayers, I still feel the pain of betray, I plea with the Man upstairs, I just wanna say I Love you, I always will. And every night as I drift away, I keep seeing you in my dreams, Like a message, you’re trying to convey, Dad, come and get me, you say, But I can’t find the means, And ways, for us to be a teams, But in dreamland playdays, I always say, I Love you Son, I always will…. 💔💔💔💔
