My Poetic Inspiration

M y Son Jared inspired me to write Y earning to write words of beauty I inspired by the Gift I gave him at birth returned N ever taking much time to think, written from the heart S someone who pushed me to be more than I was P artners in writing collaborations, two minds to one I nterpreting messages without thought between us R enduring thoughts to pen A lways there for a kind word or debate T empting the progression of talent I nvigorated with the pen and paper O blivious to my surroundings when in write N ever forgetful of the Son who prodded me to Poetry M uses dance around him Y eilding not to daring subject S on I thank you for your inspiration O n so many levels N ever forget how much I love you To my Son Jared........Thanks......Dad
