My Son

He always sees the best in people

If I get annoyed or feel hard done by

He says “no one has died”

We watch the news together sometimes

I rant about some injustice or politician

He usually has a way of calming me down

Sometimes I think he’s too laid back

 

Now I see him with his baby daughter

She reacts to his tenderness

An immediate smile and gurgle

He has more incentive to better himself

His kindness stretches beyond his family

 

I wish I could win an argument with him

Somehow I’m always on the left foot

We have to agree to differ

I love his outlook and his sensitivity

I love his strength

And I love him

One thought on “My Son
