Happy Born Day

Letter to my first
I unleashed you
into the world
with the snip of a natal chord

With tenacity we fell
in love at first sight
even then I knew this world
thru me was yours

Three played together
as I watched you
grow strong
from a feeble introduction

To hold your head high
looking up to me
a child-father
no prerequisite nor question

Seems I did the teaching
but truth is
I learned myself
in sacrifice thru you

Re-lived from first step
to remove training wheels
onto first dropoff
at preschool

My second shadow
I was faithfully there
before the drop
of a phone call

We hung at Disney parks
onto Wrestling match
goofy
to cheer brawls

What’s done in dark
let it thrive there
ain’t no stopping
our family bond

You grew a man
from planted soil
to be myself
bested respawn

So to celebrate
the birth of you
a young Prince
branched in my legacy tree

I salute you King
you the truth walking
not faked to make
from what eyes see

Grins from a father
reaping his garden sowed
full of seed
onto iron honor

That’s blessed from me
passed to broad shoulders
of a soldier
as God’s armor
