A Letter To My Son...

My son said;; "Dad... when I move out,

I'll be able to smoke, drink or chew."

I said; "I know son... there'll be many

things you'll be able to do."

Just remember this one thing....

before you were my son.

I gave up things in life...

that appeared to be "fun."

I did this, so I could be the best dad I could be

I sacrificed a lot for you... and also for me.

I didn't want to be a dad that was

"hooked on an addiction."

I wanted to be a good example

and give spiritual nutrition.

I wanted to have a son and.

be proud he was my own

And desired to have you as part

of my family and home.

I wanted for God's best in everything you do.

And to let you know how much .

I love and appreciate you

Very soon now... you'll be leaving

your parents behind.

But you'll always be in our

prayers and on our mind.

The word of God we taught you long ago.

Will be with you ... no matter where you may go.

As you go on life's journey....

seeking a "new start."

Love, Dad
