I bet you can't tell I am a proud dad My sons are so special I love them so much I wasn’t there when they came into the world The hospital folks thought dads weren’t cool In delivery rooms only moms could be present I saw them later and just couldn’t believe How precious and tiny these new people were I wanted to hold them but again I could not When they go home was the medical thought Many years went by Many games we did play Some days were so special Some were quite hard And now they are grown and have given me such pleasure Can I love them even more Than I did when they were born So wonderful to talk to So bright and so smart I’ll love them forever They are part of my heart |

Paul darling boy now this is absolutely excellent writing, your love for your sons shines through each word and I know the love is reciprocated totally. It is a wonderful thing when a family are as loving and close as yours is. As my girls are to me but don’t let them know, its enough trouble keeping them in order here as it is If they realised just how proud of them I am I’d never get a look in on my computer. Just in case you didn’t know Krissy and andEmmamakes3 are mine, Krissy writes Free Verse, and I’m not sure what Emma writes, but she calls it poetry Anyway this is superb writing it shines with joy and pride and I love it utterly, you are an absolutely brilliant writer Wonderful writing I love this utterly utterly utterly As always Mushy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |
