My Promise To You
My heart and my soul,
That type of relationship no one will truly know.
Day after day you just continue to grow.
Every time I look at you more of me begin to show.
I tell you things that help you to become a better man.
Every question you have I try to help you understand.
I try to show you things such as honesty and respect.
For that is two of things that a man should know best
Make sure to always look someone in the eyes when you speak.
If you don’t that can make you seem a little weak.
When he is feeling hurt I will be there to ease the pain.
I will help him to get up and tell him to try again.
Regardless if his dreams are big or small,
I will do my best to help him achieve them all.
This is my son and I promise to do all that I can,
To help him along the way to becoming a man.
