Beloved Son Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Beloved Son
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, April 12,2010 @ 1: 51 PM

To you, my beloved son,
Your life has just begun.
I shall shout aloud from the mountains,
Of you, I am truly proud.

Steadfast and true to the letter,
Be not like me, but only better.
To greatness, I have watched you grow,
Now I stand to shout, 'Bravo! '

Through perseverance, you have strived.
My heart is overflowing with pride.
As the accolades finally subside,
My arms will always remain open wide.

Blessed from birth with a natural rhythm,
I have given you the tools to blossom.
A force to be reckoned with, truly fearsome,
I'm your biggest fan because you are awesome.

You play hard to the cadences set,
And every challenge, without doubt, you've met.
I'll never forget your birth,
And having you, I'll never regret.

Life can feel like it's always uphill,
But I love you, and I always will.
No father could ever be prouder,
So I'll shout it out louder and louder.
