My Son
The cool clear beauty
that is your face to me.
The seeing of you
that made me feel free.
Your calm and kind smile
gentleness by the mile.
The strength of your mind
That made you so kind.
Your flyaway words
soaring like birds.
Swooping and gliding
wisdom abiding.
Your generosity of spirit
your kindness of soul.
Your limitless friendship
that made us all whole.
The love that you gave
and I hope you felt back.
The way that you mediated
and stopped the attack.
The way that we hugged
close and so tight.
Your beautiful laugh
and subdued chuckle.
Every second
I spent with you.
Every word
that we shared.
I close my eyes
And see
your words melting
gently into my ears
And massaging my heart
with love.
The warmth of your skin
on my lips as I kissed
your lovely forehead
And said everything
In the whole world.
Goodnight buddy
I love you.
And my ears feel your words
caressing my soul.
Goodnight dad
I love you too.

Massaging my heart with love... beautiful line. Man, how I wish more men would do this with their sons instead of the alpha male thing I so often see. Lovely lyrics Phil. Thanks for sharing your soul. ?
