For one who was forced to grow up without his father. You have spoken with an eloquence unmatched heretofore by any other writer I have ever read. You have spoken to each one of the issues that I have had to deal with for a very long time. I am happy to state that the relationship that I have with my soon to be 40 year old son is wonderful. Thank you.

nomi, thank you so very much for your most thoughtful comments and your generous sixth star. I am so happy you have always been there for your son despite the fact you were not afforded that joy in your own life. Brooke
Comment from Dutchie
So wonderful this poem Brooke. So sorry I'm not allowed to give you six stars.... A bond of trust is growing here, family-traditions are given through and much is learned in this relaxing way. So nice to see this wonderful relationship between father and son.... the picture tells it all.
Poem has smooth flow and wonderful rhyme. Loved it!!! Fia

Dear Brooke,
The full and complete crux of the teaching lies in the lines:
"and how to while the time away
should fishing come to naught."
or you may like to refer to my post "The New IF", which is also important LOL
Regards
Reg

Comment from Dean Kuch
So very true, adewpearl, and so skillfully penned as well. Our children immolate what they observe form their parents. It's up to us, as caring and responsible, loving and nurturing parents, to lead them down the right paths in life. We do that by setting a good example for our kids. How can we expect them to grow and be good people if we're not "good people" ourselves?
Nicely done!

DRG, thank you so much :-) I consider sons/comes a proximate rhyme, and a close one at that. Brooke
Comment from Christof McTarnahan
Great stuff. I am a Father, and I have to admit this poem choked me up a bit. (Don't tell the horror guys)I have a five year old daughter who just started kindergarten, and that leaves me with my two year old son. We are connecting on so many levels, it leaves me awestruck.

Christof, thank you so much :-) Back when I first joined I was a regular reader reviewer of this guy who wrote really gory war stories set in a fantasy world of trolls and such, and he loved my fairy poems. :-) So, your secret's safe with me :-) Brooke

What a blessing to read your beautiful words. As always, this was wonderful.
My nikece is soon expecting a son. I think I'll direct her and her hubby to this page. He'll cry, she'll cry - it's that part of the pregnancy - and they'll both love this as I did.
Have a great week,
debby

how everything is passed on from one generation until the next. this day and age means that every piece of technology maybe reversed as to who understands and who teaches.
thank you for sharing!

Comment from DALLAS01
A son who's taught on father's knee
soon turns a man, and then,
becomes himself a father w ho
is blessed among all men
This is my favorite stanza revealing a cycle of healthy rearing.
