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

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.
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
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.
