Fathers Love

Watching my son play I suddenly see myself, Myself as a young boy A boy with dreams so bright, Dreams I dare only dream with the darkness of night I could be anything and yet I was everything, Within my dreams I lived free Free for all and for all to see Dreaming was everything to me Dreams were all I had you see As a young boy I was all alone The pain of a missing family often shown And finally I found you, Watching you play, I find you Forgetting days past I now live within you, Sharing dreams of a future limitless, Bounds not yet known, For this is something you learn when you are grown For have no fear I will always be here By your side standing with pride Bursting with joy for you are my boy Even when you think why bother I want you to remember I will always be your father!
