From flesh and bone my mirror framed, reflects a face gone by, so fresh, so young, so full of hope, such bright and twinkling eye. The living image mocks and taunts, yet loves and draws you near, to wipe away lost hopes, lost dreams, each torn and wasted year. The shattered spirit strong again, the flame of life grows bright, my mirror lives, in heart, in soul, its' brave young heart gives flight. The fire that courses through those veins, the same that burned in mine, I stand again as though reborn, my heart, my soirit thine. When years subdue and image fades, when heart and will are done, may you in turn your mirror find, my life, my hope, my son! www.sullivanthepoet.com "Live free in the world and owe allegiance to no man" |

 this was touching...and yes, indeed, a wise and marvelous poem just for dads to read...although, I believe all the ladies will love this to...(wiping a tear from my eye) this was special... |

May your son be a reflection of your writing talent, as well.  A tender, reflective rendering of your poetic and loving soul.  EA |
