Edward Lamarre Poet Verse

Oh To Have a Son

I think deep down inside every father wants to have a son.
Although we will never admit to it outwardly and never would tell anyone.

Reality says as long as its healthy we really dont care,
but what we really mean is we want a son, one we want to give our name,
one that he too is able to share.

Dont get me wrong, little girls are nice with their freckles and all,
but with a boy you can do so much more, like take him to the park 
and throw a football.

Boys are great, as they get older you take them hunting and fishing,
and as they progress in life there even comes that time when he says
" Dad, what is kissing ? "

Yep, when my boy grows up he'll be a baseball or football star,
or maybe a scientist or astronaut and be the first to walk on Mars.

You know whatever he decides I'll be behind him 100%,
and maybe some day he to will have a son, and get to do all
those wonderful things together, if only I was able to have one.
