Dear Chris by Auguste Dear Chris, I have a gift for you The poems I give you that I write Much better will you know my heart In these I open it to light So hard for men are tender words And even fathers often grope These words are meant to show my heart To show my dreams and yes, my hope I could not think a better gift Your daddy wrote these all his years Perhaps some use you'll find for them They speak of life, of love and tears My son, you are the best of me The heart that beats within my chest The very air that now I breathe The only thing that I did best I won't be with you all your life I lit your candle with my own One day you'll have a child and wife So short my candle, when you're grown And when at last my flame burns out These words are left for you to see To know your daddy better still My words that resemble poetry |

Such a sweet poem. Very nice! ~Kelly  You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving There is no danger of developing eye-strain from looking on the bright side of things |

Auguste~ I've shared this with my own children. 'I won't be with you all your life I lit your candle with my own One day you'll have a child and wife So short my candle, when you're grown' I never thought of my life in this light before ..... Thank you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Michael, I know your heart wrote this one, dear friend. Beautiful. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Auguste... This is such a beautiful way to share yourself with your son. If more fathers would open themselves to their children, sons or daughters, we would have a much better world, and so would our grandchildren!! This is wonderful.... You and your son are so lucky!! I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |
