To my Son

by Izzie   Jan 8, 2006


Life was short
the times flew by
as i kneel before god
and try to ask why?

eight is young
the things you could have achieved
none the less
I'm pretty peeved

you didn't get a life
you never learned to drive
the love you learned
makes me want to cry

i will pray everyday
turn my life around
just please watch over my son

those bright little eyes
the way your little hand squeezed mine
your smile
with the gleam in your eye

thinking back now
if i knew you'd be gone
i would have changed
and done better

but i know your safe
behind that golden gate
you'll never learn to hate
you'll never learn to hurt

but you learned to love
and thats all that counts
just smile upon me
thats the one thing i ask

i hope you still proud to call me your dad
and love me
ill love you forever

even if i can't be beside you
everyday
you can still watch over me
and pray

* to my friend..this was after i learned about his little boy. i hope i never learn what it feels like to lose a child*

    This was a sad poem, but who's eyes did you write this one in?.. Hmm ok, here's a little tip to help you get better.

    There are verses where you had rhymes, and some didn't. Keep it constant. Have some kind of pattern.
    Sometimes you had 3 line verses, then 4, and sometimes 5. Try to keep that a pattern as well. That really helps the flow.

    As for the meaning of the poem, however you write it, the meaning does not really change. For me, it's always about the meaning, I am not too picky about amount of likes or if there were rhymes.
