My only Son

Behind you, in the darkness was a frame
filled with light and laughter and grown-ups chatter
and in your angst, without a name
you waited for the moon to come and rescue you.
The rest is all an ancient distant memory
all you can remember now is the brightness of the moon
the smell of the dry grass beneath your feet and the
pain you felt. Ignoring the calls of your friends
to come and play, only the memory of drying your tears
with the back of you wrist.
Your life flows like a crystal through me
nothing can keep us apart because you are 
bound to my blood.
And if the hours and memories grows distant
and if the years between you and I 
are engulfed by the waves of the ocean
we will still be bonded to each other.
You don't have to apologise for what or who you are
for what you have achieved or not achieved
for not being who you think I want you to be
Being YOU is enough.
When life plays tricks with you
remember that you are my springtime
- the clouds always a little over the sun -
and that I, in spite of all the rain,
still can laugh.
And you will laugh too
