My son
I run the risk of derision and maybe your embarrassment
As I write a "love Letter" to you
My son

But I don't care

Cuz sometimes when time and circumstance
Keep them apart
A father will do
What he must
To stay connected
To his son
Even if means
Sideway glances
From others who preach
That  men folk are not supposed to write
Love letters
To other men folk
Even if the recipient is their son

But I don't care what they think
At all
