jeff
you and i
have never been close
i don't know why
what is a dad to a son
i don't knows
let's give it a try

i've tried to be there
for you
before you
i did try
sometimes
in the early mornings
i wonder why
i was'nt better before
i closed an open door

my dad & i
are learnin' to die
he & me
are sayin' goodbye

son,

i'd like for you & me
to say "hello"
to get to know
the you you be
and you the me i be
hell, oh,
we all goin' to die

son,

let's you & i
give it a try
before
life has passed us bye

let's find me "dog"
let's work thru the fog
let's play pool's
like 2 pool playin' fool's
son,

i want to be
the dad
you never had
i want you to see
the me

son,

i want you
to find you
whatever you do
i am here for YOU

SON,

you're a pistol
you're a son of a gun
i'd give all
to do it agin'

i love you,
son

find me a dog
that ain't a bump on the log
help me find "Dog"

jeff,
i love you
i truly do

son
of mine
and your mom's
old memories

son,

may you & i
get past
the past?

i'm here for you
i've been there before you
let's not go there again
i've been there, it's hard to begin
again
again
and again

son

don't begin
at the end

son

i love you
i'm here for you

from the beginnnin'
to whatever life might send

i'm your dad
the only one you'll ever had
blessing or a curse
better or worse

Jeffrey,
i never spell too well,

son

i love you
i truly do
late at night
when i write

this poem is for you

my Son

I agree with Judy about the spelling...I hope you and your son are able to "bond" the way you want to :)

Spelling does not matter when the word is love. I could have written this for my daughter. Saw her yesterday maybe someday she will find the road goes two ways.
