Best Sons Poems

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
If you can bare to hear the truth twisted by fate 
to make a trap for fools
If you can see all the things u gave your life to broken 
Yet pick them all up and rebuilt...

(These would include the younger brothers of Wounded Thunder, 
the character I made up in my previously posted poem).

These were sons of Thunder Storm and “Flower,”
from Wounded Thunder down to Thunder Bolt.
“Bolt” was fast; the touchy one was “Shower.”
And Thunder Struck was somewhat of a...

Segun my child! My son!
Soon, the cock will crow at dawn
And the east will showcase the sun
Soon, you will leave my home, 
To found your own
With words of wisdom, you won’t be alone.
Like a mini-skirt, advice is too short
But it covers the body’s vital lot.

Hear...

I have two sons
Both tall, blonde and handsome
With personalities different as night and day

Noah’s intellect is scary
Even as a small child he could figure out 
Not only how things work but why they work
I smile and nod a lot like I have a clue
His humor!...

Have confidence that you can be
the best in all you’ll do, my son.
Don’t go out thinking mediocrity
or that’s what you’ll become.

And don’t assume your work is done.
and don’t assume you have it made;
there’s always someone climbing rungs
who can make a better grade.

And never dare an...

There are no sons of Eden
only descendants of The Fruit.
They do their best with what they can
as Able still lies blue.
Long cast out of Paradise
they till the worldly soil
and blame the Lord for all their pains
and all their sinful toil.
Some give thanks for what they've...

I look at you and I feel intense love.

A love so indefinite that it chokes me from within.
You are mine, I made you.
Finally, something good came from me. 

I never understood what love really was, until I had you.

We have been coaxed by honeyed words,
Deranged by colonized thoughts, my sons.
Our sinews have furnished their bans
While we are submerged in poverty’s fangs.

You hold to each others’ throat
Nourished with daggers from intruders’ moats. 
Is this how you want My bloodline to end?...

Sons Of Liberty
Samuel Adams was a most wanted man
In pre American tyrannical land
In insane taxes the colonies drown 
They were indentured servants to the crown
The Redcoat aggression showed no remorse
Brotherhood was formed to fight back with force

Chorus
Hail, hail, the Sons Of Liberty
Hail, hail, revolution without...

My flesh and blood
refused to follow me
refused the notion of the flood
fought for right, not for me

Duty served
country proud
Now we two sons confess
we have transitioned to the dress

Father hid all the witnesses
to the truth of his two creations
from the watchtower he decried
the beauty, compassion and...

I am blessed to have two wonderful sons that are very good to me

To say I am proud of them both is most definitely,

My eldest son is very independent

And my younger son is very driven to commitment,

They are both very Unique in their own ways

I...

First it was you then:
your mom's best friend
one week later
our best friend's
one month later
your best aunt's
one year later…

one week
one month
one year
domino effect...
 
Yes, first it was you now:
Your good friend
who struggled and fought 
who will fight nevermore
who struggled and fought
the devil's demons of grief
and took...

I thought to write of butterflies.
Also of birds, their lovely song.
but then I came to realize
poems about them are miles long.
            I'll write at last

Lonely shuttered days
as Covid slammed at our souls
To fill the long day
I tried writing of my sons
how they fill my heart with love...
