Edit Poem
Editing Instructions
Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do
not put your name, please put as the following:
<!--EDITED by moderators
on (Date) for (reasons).-->
DO NOT remove the line break (
<br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are
needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to
delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the
url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)
between <!-- and -->
(ie. <!-- POEM TEXT HERE
-->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from
viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
In the Eyes of my Sons
When my little boys look at me
I can tell they see
More of a man
Than I think I am.
They see an open dictionary
Stocked with words they`ve never heard,
They see a house doctor
Tending illnesses until they`ve cured.
They see the strength of superman
Without the cape and costume,
They see a masterful magician
Making toys vanish inside their room.
One day they will grow to see me
As just a man, less than a hero,
A man with flaws and failures,
Not as sharp as an arrow.
A man they did not see
When they were my little ones;
But a man that was bigger than I was
In the eyes of my sons.
