Ode To My Son

What ever happened

to that carefree little boy;

Who loved life

and all that it entails;

Pretending to be Superman…

Wearing his red jacket for a cape;

Jumping off the steps pretending to fly?

*

Now a man…

with a son of his own;

Perhaps a little less carefree…

But, still with imagination

and sense of humor;

Caring and helpful

a great dad

Any daughter or son would love

*

No matter what life throws at us…

We must never lose our sense of wonder;

Our carefree joy of life and love;

Always imagining we will be

More than we can ever be
