Here is one of my previously published poems reprinted from Wanderer Thoughts

• Being a Father

Setting up hopes and thinking up dreams
Holding his baby the proud father beams
Such a tiny creation the world still ahead
For now only changings and keeping baby fed
Will I be a good father will I teach baby right?
I wonder so much it costs me sleep at night

A few years pass the real trial begins
Teaching toddler right so he will commit no sins
Envisioning a future and hoping child will excel
The answers to my questions only time will tell
Reliving my childhood while playing with child
I bicycle my boy to the park the weather is mild

Children make mistakes acting their age
Calm, I am not always sometimes I do rage
Discipline is tough for any way hurts me too
When my child is bad what can I do?
As once baby turns ten I am proud to say
I have done more right than wrong up till this day

My child is smart and does well in school
He reads books a lot his mind is a tool
I encourage and praise but am also a critic
Trying to push without being too harsh is the trick
Sometimes I fail and can hurt his feelings
But my success helps him strive for his dreams

As the years pass in his teens is my son
His studies start slipping his focus is fun
I try as I may he has a will of his own
Punishment is futile soon he will be grown
But alas a new thread has come from the seam
Moving a way, my boy is putting distance between

I can only listen and give support when he is in a bind
My attentions are focused elsewhere but I still bear in mind
His future lied elsewhere but he has found success
He found his life partner in this world that’s a mess
I visit his wedding wishing I could do more
He seems happier now and success is coming for sure

It looks like I have done a good job as a dad
Though the distance between us sometimes leaves me sad
