Dear son, 

On the day I knew you would be a boy

I shed many tears because of my joy

In the months until you were due

I dreamed of all the things that would ensue

I finally would have a best friend

We’d be thick as thieves until the end

Then that glorious day came about

I jumped for joy and let out a shout

He’s finally here for all to see

My new best friend, my little buddy

When I looked at you and heard you cry

It brought a tear to the corner of my eye

Here is a new life that I have made

I held you up high to be displayed

Look at my son

He is an awesome one

He has all his fingers and his toes

A wonderful life is what follows

As the years go by and you start to grow

I try to teach you all that I know

A fine young man is what I raised

Now everyone can see and be amazed

But now I must go son to the Lord in the sky

When I go son please try not to cry

We lived, we laughed, and made great memories

Remember the rules son and the boundaries

In heaven I will be preparing you a place

And when you come to see me a warm embrace

In heaven we get to do it all again

Forever and ever Amen. 

Love, Daddy
