A father of a son

A father of a son
Wonderful to see
A person that look just like me
On the day he was born
Where promises
I vowed to keep

Truth and honor
Are the only drugs
He will see

I am the father of a son
His teacher of a life complete
Sometimes I take for granted
The quiet conversations in things that he needs

Questions about life
Questions about dreams
I reply you are my son be all that you can be
When you become a father
Truth and honor
Will always give you peace

The only thing...

that disappoints me about this one, is that you didn't keep up the rhyme, but it is there, you just have to unbury it! ~ Gee.

My only regret...

on this one, is that you haven't kept up the rhyme! It's there, but buried! I felt it wanting, trying to get out all the way through! ~ Gee.
