Dear Son,

It’s true that love’s not always fair,

Sometimes it won’t make sense,

But let it feed your hungry soul,

And let your thirst be quenched.

It may not happen at first try,

It might not be your last,

Live each moment, it’s fullest be,

But don’t forget your past.

Remember wisdom has its role,

And then the heart as well,

Her nature should ignite your mind,

But in your soul she’ll dwell.

Skin-deep beauty time takes away,

Her character must shine,

She’ll always be so beautiful,

If captured by her mind.

You might hear music in your heart,

In silence she might sing,

Remember too, love at first sight,

Yes Son, that is a thing.

There is chemistry that you’ll feel,

Before you even touch,

Her voice will light the world ablaze,

You’ll love that oh, so much.

Be sure she loves you as you are,

But do, all that you can,

To be the best that you can be,

For her; be a finer man.

If you can, then love her whole,

Hold nothing back at all,

Be patient, kind, loving and true,

And catch her when she falls.

Son, if you find her you will know,

A soulmate she will be,

Give her all that you can give,

And give consistently.

But be aware when love’s not fair,

Sometimes that love will hurt,

Make sure she loves you just the same.

To fairness be alert.

If there are limits to her love,

And yours is held at bay,

It won’t matter what you both want,

Those limits win the day.

Always listen to her needs,

Look past your love; it’s tough.

If she speaks of another love,

Then yours is not enough.

I hope you find a love so deep,

I hope that love is true,

And every time you show her love,

I hope she shows it too.

Hard darkness can distract a girl,

So timing must be right,

Before you give your heart, Dear Boy,

Be sure she stands in light.

Circumstances will set the rules,

Be careful, guard your heart,

Check your limits, both her and you,

Do this before love starts.

When you begin to fall in love,

You’ll see her everywhere,

But just remember, My Dear Son,

That love’s not always fair.
