Son

The day we met
It was sunny and bright
We drove for hours
To the place where you were kept

You were but three
Such a wonderful sight
You were so tiny

You were full of get-up-and-go
You were so fast
You ran like a flash

It was hard
To keep in sight
You ran out that door
As quick as you could

You were yelling
Daddy Daddy Daddy
As ran down those stairs
You slipped and fell

I ran to you
And picked you up
From that grown
You had such a frown

I told you it would be ok
As I brushed you off
I kissed your knee
To ease the pain

You begin to cry
With those big brown eyes
All I could do
Was to hug you tight

As those tears continued run
I bounced you in my arms
As to comfort you
As a father would

I sat down us down
On those steps
That you just fell down
To wipe the tears that ran so clear

This was the day
When we first met
I knew just then
You could be
The son we could not have

You melted my heart
This much is true
It could only be one thing

For child as magnificent as you
It is my love
I could give to you

From that day forward
I knew it to be true
We would become
This new family of four
