Nickolas
I will always love you and always be there for you.


He entered my life at six months old
with no one to be his father.
As occurs all too much in this world,
someone just didn't bother.

My love for his mother,
grew and grew.
Something else happened,
I fell in love with him too.

Nine years went by too fast

Remembering-
The times I ran when he fell.
Listening to the stories he`d tell.
Watching the world through his eyes.
Hurting every time he cries.

He is a wonderful child,
with a brilliant mind.
Compassionate,
funny,
exceedingly kind.

It cannot be measured all I learned from him.

I was supposed to be the teacher.

Nine years went by too fast.


For his birthday this year,
he asked.

Could we be a family again?
Now, that's heart wrenching stuff,
from a child of ten.

Last night I cried,
when we ended our call.
No, it wasn't for the,
I love you.
You will see.
The tears were a mixture,
of pride and sad.
For the word he chose,
to call me was...
Dad

--you have me crying like a baby ---thats wonderful

Awwwww that is so graet! Glad you are there for him!
Very nice poem...

Is'nt grand to be a parent...
I have been known as Mom to several kid's- not just my own.
I love it...

man, do whatever you can to get back into your kids life permannetly, i never knew my father, but he was an alchy, so i never want to, but your kid knows and loves you, try everything in your power to get back together with you ex-wife

Even though biologically he is not mine.I raised him for 9 yrs and I think that I would be a piec of @#*t if I were to abandon him just because her and I are not together now.

kc my gf loves loves your stuff she is balling like a child right now.

I adopted 1 and fostered 2 besides raising 3 of my own. They are all bro and sis, even though it was only love we shared and not biology. Heartbreak brought us all together, but love held us there. Some would say I was there for them, the truth, they saved my life, helped me in my battle to live it drug free, and gave me reason to live. I know your pain.

The Power of Love

I'll keep this simple so you will see
why the blight of loneliness has fallen on me

I was just seventeen when I went to war
When coming home, things were not as before

I died in that war, by the harm of no man
Rather drugs I would use as the **** hit the fan

This I brought home with me, carried for years
Caused people who loved me to drown from their tears

I married, had children, but problems with life
I was powerless, lost, and it cost me my wife

My life spiraled downward, I wished I would die
When I saw my sons face, a tear in his eye

"Daddy, I love you!", that's all that it took
I came from my stupor, gave life a good look

I realized faults that I had in my life
Had to quit hiding, quit blaming my wife

I started my climb from my mammouth abyss
A hard road for certain, I promise you this

With the help of my children, my God and my pride
After thirty long years I now look from this side

I don't have much future, much money or "stuff"
But the love of my children, that's reward enough

touching and inspiring both kc and npp

Unselfishly given
the love of a child
Unknowingly teaching
the questions of a child
Caring beyond all realms
the compassion of a child
Filling the void
the presence of a child
Impartial in thoughts
the mind of a child
Angel within
the spirit of a child
Playful in actions
the body of a child
Growing, sometimes against all odds
the strength of a child
Thank God for the gift of a child

ty bm that was sweet
