FATHER'S ECHO

A blessing at birth; a human fragment of my soul. An exemplar of sheer love, sent by God to make me whole. He smiles at me with admiration and his eyes mirror mine. He sees me as his teacher; I am a cautious voice to his curious mind. His love for me is precious; few things are stronger then bairn love. It illustrates the relationship of the father and son above. I was charged to be his caretaker to guide him forward every day. I steer him around the pitfalls that seek to swallow him up along the way. He is my soul's reverberation; yet he remains my unique majestic boy. He is the echo of my heart that transmits my resounding joy. I was born to have him; he is a justification of my soul. A pure example of God's love, he is my son; that makes me whole.
