Father and Son

If I have a son, his name will be Dad

After my Dad, And his Dad…And his Dad…And his Dad…

At the hospital, I will Introduce Dad to my Mum

“Mum! This is Dad! Your grandson. Don’t cry Dad, its Mum…Your Grandma”

As he grows up, other children will call him by his name

And my son will become the father figure of the playground; ”Pass me the ball Dad!”….”My Mum says you can come around to my house for tea tonight Dad”

At morning registration his teacher will call him by his name in a voice complete and utter tenderness; ‘Dad?’
