Dear Son
Your life has just begun
While I am half done
By the time you reach
An age old enough to understand
These words I may not be there
So in the vain hope
that all fathers have had since time began
I hope you grow up to be a fine and gentle man
Understand why I had to leave
Even though my my heart did bleed
It was better to be afar and grieve
Read these words not with sorrow
or anger or pain or any cliche of an adjective
emotion they taught you in school
Just read them
as the words of a father
reaching out in time
Holding his digital hand
for his son to hold
and walk in cyber space
if but for a minute in silence
Father and Son
Man and child
Thank You
Dad

Poems for Kush 
this is really an amazing expression, to write to ur son. He must be very proud of his dad, love it!!!
thank you
My parents are still alive and well, yet I still have learned that I should appreciate every ounce of advice they give and every moment I have to be with them.
When your son is old enough to understand your words, he may not yet understand the gravity of them. Age will account for that but he will know your language, from the moment he could read.
Never miss a moment to tell your son how proud you are of him. At 21, when my father tells me he’s proud of me, I live in a euphoric state for days. Hug him tightly, love him madly and be the father he will turn to, even in his oldest days.
well i cant do that, since Kush lives with his mother and his mother and I are divorced. but yeah, whenever I can hug him, I will.
thank you
