Jeff Morehead Poet Rhyme

Through the Veins

Through Our Veins
   

How can I say I love you?
And have you fully appreciate its worth.
How can I express how you’ve changed me?
From the moment of your birth.
How can I tell you how I feel?
When words can not explain.
The special bond between us,
That’s much more than a name.
Son, how can I hold you close?
When growing-up takes you far.
From the playful little boy,
Who wished upon a star.
How can I pave the way for you?
When your footsteps are your own.
How can I be assured?
That you’ll never be far from home.
How can I write the future?
When it changes every day.
How can I control destiny’s winds?
When I haven’t got a say.
Although you’ll grow and need me less,
I’ll love you just the same.
For your blood is my blood,
And it runs through our veins.

James Foulk April 22, 2011 at 7:38 AM a lovely piece of poetry about your son. they grow up so fast. I can remember telling my wife, "just think in a year and 6 months Robbie will be starting school, we call him Rob now. but last December 19th he turned 40, it sounds like you have a bond with your son and that is good. thank you for commenting on Tender Heart, Tender Soul.
