Father and Son Days By Paul Wilson Inquisitive and shy… that was you Like most boys, wanting to see what made things work You came into my life when I was twenty two A gift from Heaven with a cute little smirk I tried to be a father but didn’t have a clue This would be a learning experience for both of us No instructions in fatherhood came with you Together we learned to love and trust I watched you grow up so fast Even though I wasn’t around all that much If only time had more slowly passed Letting us share father and son things and such I remember our first hunting trip We sat together under that big Cedar tree Watching that sly fox try and give us the slip It felt so good… time shared between you and me Weekends of you playing football and baseball Me cheering for you like any parent would do Praying you didn’t break any bones I recall Re-living my boy hood dreams through you A teenager with a mind of your own Dating and party’s took up all your time I remember when you started wearing cologne I guess you snuck a little of mine In the outdoors is where you love to be Where you could hunt and fish each day Yearning for a simple life in the country Just being you… and living life your way Now that you’ve grown into a man With children of your own to raise I reach out with pride and shake your hand Thanking God for those father and son days Dedicated To My oldest Son Joshua "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (10-22-2003 05:09 PM).] |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Paul, this is soooooooo beautiful and heartwarming, sweet friend, this made me cry because though I'm not a father yet, it makes me think of my mom and dad and how they remember me and how I wish I could continue to bring back those precious memories to them somehow! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, may you and Joshua always continue to share special times together, 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 |
