Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

I wasn’t there
when you took your first breath
when you staggered and fell
learning to walk

But I’m happy to be Dad
living now with you
helping your Mom
as you become you

Not a moment
would I really alter
as you test and shout
finding your way in the world

Sometimes we struggle
but that is part of growing
I hope I can give you wings
that you may fly
