A Man

A man stands before me,
yet, I remember just a boy.
His smile so devilish,
but had a heart of gold.

We were inseparable,
from early on.
He clung to my side,
he was my only son.

As the years passed,
the bond grew.
It was he & I,
there wasn't a thing we couldn't do.

Now he wonders,
which path to take.
For it is his journey,
to make.

Therefore, I know
he will be just great,
Because now,
a Man stands before me.
