To My Dearest Son

Something special came to mind while I was sitting on the hotel room’s balcony. Thinking about my dearest son Richard, who I haven’t seen in a while because of bad family circumstances. Sad but I really pray for his happiness and well-being.

I write this just for you while mesmerising in the past and present.

Dear son,

A precious gift, a love that thrives.

From the moment you entered this world,

A tiny soul, so perfectly curled.

Your laughter fills my hearts with glee,

With words that capture love’s pure delight.

You’ve brought such joy into my lives,

A melody that sets my spirits free.

With every step you take, my dear,

You conquer fears, you persevere.

You’ve grown so strong, so full of grace,

A reflection of your inner space.

Through highs and lows, you’ve shown your might,

Facing challenges, shining so bright.

Your determination, like a flame,

Lights the path, igniting your name.

In your eyes, I see a world so wide,

A hunger for knowledge, to explore and guide.

May your curiosity never wane,

May wisdom be your constant gain.

As you navigate life’s winding road,

Remember, my son, you’re never alone.

I’ll stand beside you, through thick and thin,

Through every loss, every win.

Cherish the moments, big and small,

Embrace the beauty, stand tall.

For you are loved, beyond measure,

A treasure to be cherished, a priceless treasure.

So, my dear son, as you grow and soar,

Spread your wings, explore and adore.

Know that my love will forever be,

A shelter, a beacon, eternally.
