Letter To My Son

I shall send a letter to my son
About the deep joys of fatherhood,
My advice when all is said and done 
To always do what is right and good. 

Of many other things I shall tell him 
I shall send a letter to my son
But, of course, in the long interim 
Here are thoughts I will have spun.  

I will tell him of his mother’s love 
How very much I loved him, too, 
I shall send a letter to my son 
And seal it when I am through.  

Years from now when I am gone 
When he is older and wiser still
When my curtain greets the dawn 
I shall send a letter to my son.
