Passing Down the Torch

Father to son, the torch is passed,
A legacy to make us last.
Lessons learned and wisdom shared,
The love and guidance always there.

A sturdy hand to grasp and hold,
A strong embrace so firm and bold.
The memories made will always stay,
To guide us through each passing day.

The journey is not always smooth,
But with your love, we can always improve.
So here’s to you, Dear Father,
For guiding us through life with honor.

In Your Footsteps

In your footsteps, we shall walk,
With every step, we’ll hear you talk.
Lessons learned and love we’ll share,
In every moment, you’ll always be there.

We’ll face the world with courage and might,
For in our hearts, your love will shine bright.
In every challenge, we’ll find our way,
For in your guidance, we’ll never sway.

Our bond will never be broken,
For in your love, we’ll find our token.
So here’s to you, Dear Father,
For leading us in life with honor.

Long Poems

A Legacy of Love

My dear son, I write this for you
To tell you how much I deeply love you
From the moment you were born
You became the one I adore

I hold you close and look into your eyes
A new chapter in our lives
I have so much I want to give
My heart, my soul, my life to live

As you grow up, my little boy
I want you to know, you bring me joy
I’ll always be here, with arms open wide
To catch you when you stumble and guide you with pride

There may be moments when you’ll fall
But don’t be scared, it happens to us all
Just pick yourself up, and rise again
With strength, faith, and discipline

I’ll teach you to be kind, loving and fair
To see the beauty in life and others everywhere
To find your passion, your own call
And pursue it with all your heart and soul

I also want to share with you
Some pearls of wisdom, some lessons too
Life is not always simple, fair or just
But it’s those struggles, that make us truly trust

Trust in ourselves, in our own abilities
That we can conquer hardships and overcome difficulties
Trust in others, in their goodness and worth
For it’s those connections, that make life more worthy of mirth

As I write this, I feel blessed
To have seen you grow and progress
From a little boy, so small and frail
To an independent, smart man, with a tale to tell

Son, my love for you will never dim
It will stay with you, even when I’m not in
You will always be my little boy
My precious diamond, my source of joy

So go and live life, to the fullest extent
Leave no stone unturned, no goal unmet
And when you do, always remember
That you’re loved, you’re valued, now and forever.

The Legacy of Love

As a father, I bring to you
The lessons learned, the dreams pursued
A path I’ve walked, with love in mind
A life well-lived, a legacy designed

I’ve seen the world, from east to west
But your mother’s heart I held closest
Though trials and troubles, storms raged on
Our love and faith remained unbroken

And now my son, my pride and joy
Your heart so pure, your spirit strong
I pass to you, my hopes and dreams
An inheritance of love, so it seems

May you cherish the gift of life
And fill it with purpose, devoid of strife
May you embrace the power of grace
And illuminate the world’s darkest place

May you always be brave, in the face of fear
And never lose sight, of what’s truly near
May you love with care, and kindness too
And find strength, in all that you do

Remember always, that you are loved
By your family, your Father above
And though miles may keep us apart
Our bond remains, forever in heart

So take this torch, and carry it well
Pass it to your children, a story to tell
A legacy of love, that lives on
In the hearts of those who’ve come along.
