A Father's Request

The day I held you, son

is one forever etched upon my heart

as time passes, what's done

through heartbreaks and aches, I try to unravel

of time lost under the sun-

A father's pain

empty arms, nowhere are you

I hope one day to gain

the laughter you do give

like soft gentle rain-

My pride and joy

frozen in place in the web of my mind

never forgotten, always my little boy

each day, the bond growing

even more so now as I conjure up a ploy-

That brings about a father's request

to find where you may be

is the one staunch test

of my faith and love for you

carrying me throughout on this quest.
