To My Unborn Son

Posted by Terrence Johnson

I love you even though you are not here
Although we have never met
I am preparing for your arrival
The world as I knew it will be foreign to you
A world with many dangers and influences
For this I am concerned
Wanting to instill in you knowledge and wisdom
Giving you direction through life's eternal darkness
I know that I cannot shield you from harm
Nor ensure that you will not be wronged
I do know that no matter what
I will be your father
I promise to be your role model, hero, protector, provider and supporter
Correcting you when necessary
Sharing with you advice
Showing you the way
Like a compass
I will not steer you wrong
Keeping you on the correct path
Now I sit
Patiently waiting on your arrival
For the day I can say
"That's my boy"
