From across the oceans already ahead of your time knowledge of the ages my help not asked for long compassion abounds my nature coarse emotions expressed mine in check stoic stands against adversity the fight gone out of me for you a decade half century for me many years ahead mine slipping away we differ in feature but not in heart this world you will conquer a piece I took for me you’ve taught me many things my son I can feel your mothers tears of pride I pray to God when she thinks of you her heart receives the answer this boy you bore knows you in his heart I love you son the man you’ve become and the father you will be -RS ------------------ |

This is a lovely expression of your love for your son. Surely the son is aware of such love. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |
