To My Son

Love poetry 1 Minute

09/06/20

Think of me when the sun is setting, and I have long passed

Think of all the love we’ve shared, and all the times we’ve laughed

I know I haven’t been a perfect father, but my love was always true

My intentions were always honest, and all I ever was I gave to you

Light a candle on my birthday, and remember who I am

Never amounted to much in my life, but a remembrance would be grand

You walk in many native footsteps, that have walked before you

Hold your head up high as you find your own path through

Love with all your heart, it’s the greatest gift you give

And love your wife and baby completely, through this one life that you live

A Life Unvarnished is a collection of poetry I have written throughout my life. It exposes the good and the bad. My failures, my regrets and the redemption I found through love. We never know how, where, or when true love finds us but when it does you feel it's strength to the core. That it was meant to be. And through this I have found an inner peace that inspires me everyday.
