The 'Perfect Son'

 

 

In my dreams, I make my Dad proud.

I dream that I stand out from the crowd.

In footy, I dream, Dad watches me score.

I dream I’m the perfect son…and more!

In all honestly, I’ve not achieved a lot.

But in my dreams, all the medals I’ve got.

Certificates a plenty on my dreamy wall.

In reality, sorry Dad, there are none at all.

But... I’ve lived my life in the correct way.

And I’ve got a kind heart, my friends say.

So, another dream time is over and done.

From Heaven Dad, do you see a perfect son?

Hello Mike,
In your words, you reveal such honesty and vulnerability, and it is through sharing these thoughts with the world that you have already proven yourself to be a good son. It is clear that your heart was full of love and care, and that you lived with integrity and kindness—those are the things that truly matter. You need not worry whether your late father is proud of you, because it’s evident that you’ve done more than just chase achievements and medals. You've lived your life in a way that speaks to who you are as a person, and I’m certain your father would consider that more than enough.
Regards,
Rolph

If truth be told, Mike none of us is perfect, but a kind heart is darned near it.
