Become
As he got out of the car,
Heading into work,
I gazed proudly at him.
He was a man now,
Always my child,
But not a baby anymore.
I studied his gait and posture.
It was so familiar...
I realized for first time,
How much he was like you.
Tall, slender, handsome and shy.
Loves to explore the outdoors.
Camping, hiking and tubing.
He is polite and quite,
Til there something important to say.
Smart, strong, and determined.
Nothing was ever handed to him.
If he wanted something,
He worked hard for it.
Never did he like to play sports.
He'd rather grow a garden,
Or make glass into a beautiful art.
His art takes my breath away.
Seeing the man he has become,
Its so bittersweet.
Our youngest,
Our baby boy,
You would be so proud,
Of the man he has become.
I'll never understand ,
Why you chose to not be apart of their lives. Though we we're over,
They still needed you.
It's been ten years now,
Since they've heard your voice.
If you could only see,
What our youngest son has become...
Now that he is a young man,
It's like I'm meeting a younger you...

Awe thank you Tony. God blessed me with three handsome, amazing, talented sons. This is about my youngest son Jace. He is 19 and I am so very proud of him. The picture is him holding his glass design art. God bless.?

???POETRynation ®??
Thank you. God bless you too. ?
This is such a sad story, Lori. Mainly because the father of your three boys has chosen not to be involved in their lives for whatever reasons.
This is one of those writes that gets the reader off balance and delivers a debilitating punch to the solar plexus.
In other words, if you happen to be a parent as I am (I have four boys and my youngest and last a daughter), it hits you right where you live.
Well written, a poignant story–poem for sure.

Thank you. I am so proud of the man he has become. Jace has was through many trails. Homeless, hunger, walking in the rain to school and work. All this and he still graduated. He is a walking testimony. God bless.
