For Jasher my Son with Love

Me with my Son Jasher

You're a child who brings surprises,
In that moment, I knew it was your joyous smiles.
I never expected a child like you,
reminds me to stay sincere and true.

I chose the finest name for you, my dear,
A name so upright, it’s righteousness to persevere.
Sometimes I'm overprotective or lose control,
But for you, I’d move mountains, as no task is too cruel.

It pierces my heart to watch you grow and depart,
Or missed out on the daily moments of your heart,
Yet, I trust your name will sound esteemed and admired,
Where beacons of righteousness, endlessly inspired.

One day, I'll rest alone beneath the quiet deep,
Dreaming of your smile, in my eternal sleep.
Time may blur the when and how of our next greeting,
Yet I yearn for the day, your noble name repeating.

- Jerry Nuñez Bustillo
