Best Sonlife Poems
When My Son Became a Man
Now that you're twelve I would just like to say
Your whole future my son will be forged from today
I would really like you to be prepared for tomorrow
So you never have to look back upon your life with sorrow
And what I tell you right now may someday help you enhance
All of the outcomes in life when you must take a chance
So come sit with me and we'll share a chat by the fire
You can tell me all the things out of life you desire
What is it you hope this life will turn out to be
Let us talk of your future and what you foresee
What will you do when you go out on your own
Will you be starting a family or just living alone
Do you have any plans like will you have a career
Or are you just going to labor for year after year
I know that this is a big bite to chew on as a kid
But I would like you to go farther than I ever did
And I know that you’re smart I just can't help but to worry
Cause I know just how life can sneak up on you in a hurry
When you start making choices you have options galore
Every one that you make will just keep bringing you more
And when you choose poorly you'll find you just shut a door
And once it's closed you'll never know what was in store
You need to think through every choice that you make
Cause some day you'll regret almost every mistake

How can u do this to me we are married and u
betrayed me i love you and u cant except that how
can u say that she is pretty and i tried to get u to say
that to me so many times how can u be so cynical!!
I know i made mistakes but it just feels that u are
trying to get back at me like revenge how can u do this
i love u but i have to be strong i lost everything for u
and yet it feels like u don't appreciate me!!
How could u its like i hate u with all my heart if u love some-
one u have to prove to that person that person how do u expect
me to forgive u yes i know it was just that u told her that she was beautiful
but what the heck am i a piece of trash!!
How can this be I LOVED YOU!! but know it just seems that i cant take this
i do almost everything for you and yet u cant except that my life is like a
fairy tale gone wrong u were my prince charming and now its like u are
just another guy that hurts me !!!
Does this not bother you how can love just fade away yes you say
that u still love me and you are sorry but how can i trust u its like
my world just came crashing down!!! How do you forgive some one
that lies to you and in your face!!
You know i fell like forgiving you cause the baby but i just cant live a lie

to my baby!! I LOVE YOU so much even more then you can imagine and i

But like they say life goes on i know that it going to take work for me to forgive
but what more do i have!! Everything was all gone and know my life is just there
how do i forgive if i know in my heart that am going to have this in my mind all the
time when i look at you and see when ur on your phone or computer am going to be
thinking is he telling that girl she is prettier than me!!!
It will take a lot of time to trust you again But what more can i do you are the only
thing i have right know i have no where to go so what more can i do life goes on !!
I just need to know one thing NEXT time all H*ll will break loose and we will See how
you do that cause i will live you with no word and you will never be able too see your kid!!
When you feel like giving up be strong
Because you only get one shot at this life
Hold your own and keep pushing along
Don't do it for your son,mother or wife
But for yourself
Keep pushing on
Do not let your life just pass you by
Stand and be accounted for
Never frown, moan or sigh
God will judge you on what he saw
Heaven will await you
Keep pushing on
Look back at your life and never question why?
Do not regret anything you have done
Never dwell or cry
What can you do now my son?
Judgement day is here
Keep pushing on
AS IM SITTTING HERE ALL ALONE, WONDERING WHAT LIFE WILL BRING, MY MIND BEGANS
TO WONDER, AS THE BIRDS BEGAN TO SING. THEY ALWAYS SEEM SO HAPPY, AND I WISH
I SHARED THERE JOY, BUT IM A DAD OF AN AIRFORCE SON, AND I REALLY MISS MY BOY.
WE USE TO DO SO MANY THINGS, BUT NOW I DO THEM ALL ALONE, SO IM TRUELY MISSING
MY SON AND WISH THAT HE WAS HOME. WHEN HE COMES TO VISIT ME, MY HEART FEELS
SO ALIVE, BUT WHEN HE RETURNS TO DUTIE, I JUST CANT HELP BUT CRY. SO TO MY
PRECIOUS AIRFORCE SON, WHO'M I LOVE WITH ALL MY SOUL, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE
IT SELF, AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW.

Little children slip and get hurt sometimes, in their daily play.
Mine was worse than others… he’s All Boy they would always say.
Not a comforting thought… when my little love, would do it all again.
Frustrations and worries would mount, as to my own son, harm would come.
So I eventually became more than prepared for everything that came along.
He was more than daring, as he spread his wings, his will so strong.
At each event I’d remind him that safety, was the key word to know.
But I’d always find out later that he didn’t remember, what I’d bestowed.
So after that, every single time I’d always remind him of his very first cast.
The first was at 3 and ½ as he was running and playing, on the tumbling mats.
When of course he stumbled, 2 toes going north and 3 toes going south.
A cast was in order that lasted one whole week, before practically cracking in half.
The next was reinforced doubly to withstand a whole lot more, after that.
Next week brought another visit to fix a crumbling cast, once more.
It probably had nothing to do… with him hanging upside down on the jungle gym.
This time it was double, doubly reinforced and worked until everyone began to swim.
Even with three counselors watching, he found enough moisture to tear it apart
again.
Finally at the end of 6 more weeks it was time for the crazy thing to come off.
The next day, you guessed, he tripped and for 3 more weeks they put the cast back
on.
Now don’t you worry, it eventually, finally, truly did come off…
But next time, it was somewhere else… they soon had to put a new cast on.
The counselors were good and so very kind, and no one else got hurt, except mine.
Every one apologized, as he got hurt, but no one could ever stop him in time.
He was a crafty wild man great at evading, when his mind found the next target, to
want.
And Fear wasn’t in his vocabulary, as he quickly and energetically, sallied forth.
I couldn’t blame anyone; of course, life for him was simply fuller, than for most.
We all simply gathered around to sign the new cast, each time his life went askew.
There was really very little else that we could do.
The moral to this story as I have often told...
Is to always be prepared for what life and little boys can bestow.
As the days turn to years and the now becomes the then of the past
I watch you blossom and become the person you were always meant to be
My head spins as i think of our life and realize its all gone much to fast
The babe I once held no longer seems to truly even need me
Have I done what was right have i stumbled or failed
Did I nuture the soul of this free thinking human being
Some days I miss the way you would cry the sound you once wailed
the memorys that had been so strong are now spotty and fleeting
I wonder if you'll ever know what you meant to me how hard i tried
now a days you wont talk to me we used to be best friends
I was there when you laughed when you screamed and cried
A cold teenage shoulder cant be the way this ends
Even now I think i need you more than you ever needed me
Without your life i would not know what it means to live
Someday you'll find out just how i did then i know you'll see
love is not something you take its a gift you must give
All the times i thought i couldn't be the person I had to become
A father a teacher a man just struggling to do what seems right
All the trials ups and downs i don't how i didn't break and succumb
A child myself when i first saw your eyes on that frightening night
You taught me so much did i give you the lessons to find your way
Did i strengthen your soul enough for you to conquer your fear
I know its time for you to go but something inside says wait please stay
I know your not my babe any longer but ill always want you so close and so near
As we say goodbye i realize now you've been my strength and my rock
It was you not I that brought this love free of blame no condition
May life be kind to you but call me sometime i need to just talk
you changed my heart my life my soul iv e been wrong by my own admission
You are the best of everything in me A testament to life a promise of love
I'm am you but you are not me i hope you find happiness and a way to be free
My precious child my sweet gift from above
I love you so much please before you leave sware you'll never forget about me
Form:
The first time I looked into your eyes
I knew my heart was gone
The first time I held you in my hands
I found new meaning to my life
I’ve known you for three years
I’ve watched you crawl
And learn to walk
Giggled as you learned to talk
And you, you are my life
And you, you are all life means to me
When I’m, when I’m with you
There’s no place I’d rather be
There’s good times yet to come
Sure to be a few bad ones in between
Only sure thing is
I’ll be there for you
As long as I’m alive
No matter what you’ve said or done
You’ll have one sure place you can come
You’ll always have a place
That you can call your home
And you, you are my life
And you, you are all life means to me
When I’m, when I’m with you
There’s no place I’d rather be
And you, you are my life
And you, you are all life means to me
You’ll always have a place
You can call your home

Deeper than icon lost
Or treasured pride
Or valued artifact
The twin towers cannot measure it then
For who can debate
And plan, and build another monument
At my ground zero
I would enlist
For all the wars my soul resist
With hate
All would be worthy of all I am
To bring him back again
For this
I do not gamble on my faith
There better be a heaven
Some place
To give me closure then
There better be
No fable cunningly devise
Else all the figment I become
And all my fury
Matches love to the maximum
Until I hold him again
Inside the circle
Where life with life shall blend.
If I should die tomorrow, I just want you to know
Just how deeply you have touched my life
And how much you mean to me
To have been able to hold you during your first breaths
To have been able to watch you
As you’ve grown for these nine years
Is the greatest thing I’ve ever done
I was fortunate in my life
For I got to see you learn to crawl, to walk, to talk
To brush your teeth, even your hair
I was there when you first two wheeled
I was alive to hear you laugh so many times
I was able to hold you when you cried
I heard you read and learn to spell
As I’d watch you sleep at night
I knew I didn’t always do things right
There’s so many things I could’ve done better
I should’ve thanked God so many more times
For blessing me with you
I just want you to know I’m proud to be your dad
And should a time come that I’m no longer here
And you feel like you’re alone and need a friend
I want you to remember
There’s no space, time, life or death that can separate us
I will always be your dad no matter where I am
I will always do my best to help
And you must always try to do your best
To treat others like you and to be yourself
Cause you, just being you
Made my life so worth living
