Letters to My Sons

Streetlight shadows, late at night,

Pens and pages, trying to make this right.

To my boys, my heart, my pride,

Here's my truth I can't hide.

I sit alone under the old oak tree,

Thinking 'bout the man I wanted to be.

Sorry I missed, sorry I failed,

My love for you always prevailed.

If I could rewind, turn back the tears,

Hold you closer through the years.

You’re stronger than I ever was,

Just know, I love you because...

I love you more than words can say,

More than the mightiest mountain’s sway.

Wish I could do it all anew,

Be the dad I dreamt to be for you.

Proud of the men you're becoming,

Your strength, your spirit, forever stunning.

Memories fade but not the love,

Sent to you from the stars above.

Every mistake, every fall,

Helped shape the man standing tall.

If I could turn back time,

Change the words, change the crime.

Still, I hope you see through my tears,

My love has no bounds through the years.

I love you more than words can say,

More than the mightiest mountain’s sway.

Wish I could do it all anew,

Be the dad I dreamt to be for you.

Proud of the men you're becoming,

Your strength, your spirit, forever stunning.

So here’s my letter, sealed with hope,

My apologies and my love, write my scope.

Forever yours, with all my heart,

A brand new start, right from the start.

Underneath this sky so wide,

I'm forever by your side.

Love you more than words can show,

My sons, more than you'll ever know.
