I Just Found Out

I Just Found Out how precious life can be Can a father be any prouder then the day of his first son All the hopes for the best to be given All the dreams for what he might grow to become A father’s wishes for his son – what a grand vision The son is five – the first day of school Father consoles mother who is in tears The son is thirteen – no longer the boy Father plays catch and cheers when his son plays The son now eighteen- graduation has come Father had given him the keys for the senior prom The son is out late for the night- as expected he would be The father answers the doorbell – it is three Mr. Father- a voice questions me I am sorry to inform you- the state trooper tells me. Oh- the terror – dear Lord you should have taken me
