''What Is a Son''

What is a son to a father
                           But youth and strength as no other
                        That props the sagging failing man
                               With vital energetic hand
                 
                          That makes him glad within the heart
                              To know that these are a part
                         Flesh and bone that came from me
                            And love excelled by none but he
                           Who made us all to live and love

                            A GIFT DIVINE from GOD above
                       
                                                                     Doc

Our son's name is Matthew, which means "Gift from God". You do well to give thanks.
