LOVE Poem: Oh My Son, by Prince Massaquoi

Oh my son, since you been gone my mind been on the run
Oh my son, since you been gone I feel like all is wrong
Oh my son, I wish I could sing you a song
Oh my son, I remembered when I first held you in my arms. Now I’m watching you grow like
fresh crops on a farm.
Oh my son, you will be back with daddy soon,
Unlike Macaulay Culkin you will never be home alone.
Oh my son, I remembered when you first turned one
We were in Jamaica eating coconut under the sun
Oh my son, no one can replace you
I remembered when I used to chase you
When I got your first toy car you asked me to race you
Oh my son, as I have you in my arms now, I will make sure to embrace you
Others may portray me as if I don’t love you but oh my son you know there’s no one above you
Oh my son, I will cherish these moments we are having now because I know nothing is
permanent but son our bond is prominent and dominant.
Oh my son, can’t nothing stop us because we are one.
I am your father and you are my son.

Love Daddy,
