Jason
by D. Bowden

My firstborn, my golden-haired son,
Has made me proud in so many ways.
He is thoughtful and thought-filled . . .
Intellectual, articulate, talented.
He can play music of a symphony,
Or quote philosophy,
And politics, history, anything!
He has a wicked sense of humor,
A wry, cynical wit,
But teases with a sparkle in his eye.
Comes through good or bad,
With dignity, humbleness and quiet pride.
