A Gift To My Son

My son, this “gift” I give to you…
Though small it now may seem
I wish for you that all your life
May be but as a dream
That every step may bring you joy
And wonders to behold
That sorrows pass beyond you quick…
And never leave you cold
That you will always walk in peace…
Not ever knowing fear
That happiness will multiply
As you pass year to year
But most of all… I wish, my son
That love be all you know
And that it fills each wondrous hour
That through your life you’ll know
