Poem Title:
Poem
His training wheels became more of a burden So as he helped me take them off He handed me the wrench that I'd need We both smiled but we didn't talk I reflected on times that felt like just yesterday Yet somehow they seemed long ago Before he could walk and before he could talk It almost seemed as if he'd never grow As he took off so wobbly I cringed a bit Then came the rock his front tire hit He fell off of his bike and skinned up his knee Holding back all his tears he said to me Don't worry about me falling I'm tough just like your are dad Maybe we need to keep my training wheels on I told him not to give up so fast I'm so proud of you son and I want you to know I'll protect you whenever I can I could see his pride hurt so I assured him You can do it my little man Now the years pass by quickly and my little man Is talking a bit deeper now His attentions have turned from playing with me And he thinks he has all the know how His first taste of love soon came calling They were inseparable in all ways But I knew that his heart would probably break It's a lesson that we all have to take Don't worry about me falling I know what love's all about Dad, you may not believe, but she really loves me She's like an Angel that fell from a cloud Well heartache came calling soon after prom My son had to hear those 2 words So I just sat back and hurt while he cried Reminding him first loves are always the worst I know there must be more fish in the sea But my heart is hurting right now I told him it will take time, but you'll be just fine Someday you'll move on somehow Now many years passed and he found his true love His mother and I live alone Without him we found that it's just a house Cause with him we made it a home Years of working and living harder than I Probably should have lived Have taken its toll and I have become Somewhat feeble and frail As he paid me a visit we had a talk I told him son there would soon come a day When I would be called to head on back home I fell as I walked away He reached out his arm and he cushioned my fall It's funny how fast time can change I looked up at him and gave him a thanks I just smiled as I walked away And said don't worry about me falling Son I'm tough just like you No matter how soon I leave from this earth Know that I'll always love you So don't worry about me falling
