I spent today with you my son
It was a magic day.
I found myself loving being in your company.
We just spent time together
Hanging out.
Looking a galleries
Sharing meals, some fun stories,
You listened to my tales
I shared yours.
We went shopping you
Helped me select a new shirt.
Gave me reject art works
That I shall add to my collection.
Then we worked together,
Creating a tea towel design
Me deciding the design
Copying it, cutting it out,
The stencilling, the painting of the lips
Such fun, best of days.
I am lucky to have you as my son.
Thanks for a memorable day.
Often you know it is just
The presence of one another that matters.
I love you Lucas.

Great poem, Michael! Does your son read your poetry?
Thanks so much Gabriella, I sent him a copy of the poem the other day, he was chuffed to say the least. Thanks again.
Chuffed that I am sure of 🙂 a nice verse written from the heart of a good daddy ( hugs)
He was chuffed Jen…..I sent it to him a few days ago.
