My Son Jack

My 2nd love

By Daniel Oconnor Published 5 years ago 1 min read

One day we’ll stand together

At the precipice of your life

You say kids you’ll have never

Until the day you meet your wife

I know that you’ll be kind

And look after those you love

As you realise you’ll never find

Anyone else to hold above

Treasure every moment

Of every hour of everyday

Live it like you own it

Work hard and you’ll be okay

Life is what you make it

So build a beautiful one

When love is offered take it

And half the battles won

I know I haven’t been

The man or dad you needed

All the things that you have seen

I wish could be deleted

But faith in you we have

Your mum, your dad and I

That a man indeed we have

Our Jack our son our life

About the Creator

Daniel Oconnor

My passion is words, when I write it usually takes no more than half an hour to bring to life what I’m thinking... if I leave it inside my head i obsess over the thoughts and they transform into something I can’t express...
