Passing The Torch By Paul Wilson The years have come and gone so fast Seems like it was just yesterday I wish those special times would last When just you and I use to play We’ve had our share of arguments You never saw my side of things Your mother spoke in your defense Called “Punkin” her angel with wings I pass the torch to you my son It’s time for me to step aside The race is now yours to be won Remember… never lose your pride Do your best is all I can say Just like my father said to me Always count your blessings each day To your future this is the key You have a family of your own Two sons and a wife that love you Into a fine young man you’ve grown Mom and Dad will always love you My flame now burns within your heart As bright as the sun in the sky From this world I will soon depart With you my flame will never die "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

 (big hugggsssssss) But until then, keep running along with him on the sidelines and cheer him on, as you are his hero and he'll always love you and he will always be your little boy! (wipes tears) This made me cry as it is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Paul, I am so glad that I read past the first page of posts. I absolutely loved this piece. I have my own son. He's 13 and with no prompting from me or my husband decided to join the Air Cadets!!! He has always been such a source of pride for me... but I cannot take the credit... I believe he did it all on his own. God bless you and yours. He has certainly blessed us. Your poem made me take a look into my own future and see such promise that I am grateful for the read. Thank you for this. Sherry |

Sherry...Thank you so much for reading. You did have something to do with your sons decision in an unknowing way, you and your husband instilled that pride and honor in him as he was growing up. You know we have to teach our children things they never learn in school. Thank you so much for your sweet and kind words...Paul Crystal...I don't know about being a great man. I just try to do what is right and share my heart with all of you. So glad you enjoyed this, thanks for the words of praise...Paul Joe...Glad you liked this. I really appreciate you taking time to read and for your reply. Things weren't always smooth between us when he was growing up but now that he has a family of his own he understands some of what I was trying to tell him when he was a teenager.Thanks again my friend...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |
