I Remember
Son,
as I continue through this journey of life
I remember
I remember trying to help you grow
with love, truth, and honesty
I remember trying to help you find the right path
with values, morals, and self worth
I remember trying to give you dreams
with hope and confidence
I remember praying you’d be a father like me
to shape your children into strong adults
full of inspiration and dreams
I remember trying to make you into me
But now I know you made me into you
I will remember to show love unconditionally
with compassion and empathy
I will remember that friends are to be treasured
not only for their perfections but also their faults
I will remember that life’s harsh lessons
can make you stronger
I will remember that love lost
can be found with memories of love lived
But most of all I will remember you in all I do
for no one could touch my life as you did
