My Sons Father

I am not your master 

I do not serve as your father to be right

I will not treat you less than the respect of those who are of age

For even that is not the measure of respect

I support you, to show you the love in the world

I bend in my strength by giving my hands to unfold your wings

Not in showing my strength in keeping your spirit to fly

For true strength is in the patient calm presence of understanding and compassion 

I walk beside you in your growth 

Not above you at my heights 

I feel your knowing from this place

So I may love you as you step

And know you as you walk

I am not your father because of your birth

I am he to show you the ways because you inspire me to be him

We have created each other 

And my promise is to show you that in creation

There is love

There is love 

And there is love

To my son 

In love and respect for what you have given me and for just being you. A living growing, learning human being, as I am and we all are on this blue planet. And that above all roles, maturity, strength, wisdom and intelligence we are together in our growth and equal in our beginnings.
