Man Child

This poem is about my son, Scott. Scott is 37 years old, a child in some ways but in other ways, well beyond his years. So happy God blessed me with Scott Wilcox!!!!

Many of you know and love, Scott.  I wrote this poem about a year ago.  Scott has helped me through a very difficult time.  I love his passion for life.

And change

And all that’s strange

Until the plan

Has been explained and

He understands

 

Birthdays, anniversaries and deaths

Of family and friends

Tell him once he’ll remember

When the day comes up again

Sensitive of feelings

But doesn’t understand

How a  smile can be a tear

And once in awhile a laugh

Is not sincere

 

Man Child, loves music and friends

Loves to share

Every part of his life

Holds memories dear

Wants all to care

With passion and with strife.

 Missing Dad

The fun we had

He’s always in our heart

3 Musketeers until the end

Man Child, my son, my friend

Hurricane, , breath of fresh air

Man Child who’s waiting there

And wanting to understand
