For --ALL,-- of --these --years --and --years--HE--had--many--many--many--a--great--great--friends-- and-- HE---didnt -- NEED --his--DAD--ME
Always, ---argumentily ---eye ---to ---eye,--- HIM, ---and ---I, ---we ---never ---came ---to ---really---on---the---same---page----SEE

Now --at --last, --at--last--when-- his --troubles --are --overwhelming--spilling--over--and--greater--than--GREAT
And -HE, -is -in -a -spiraling-- DOWN--very--very--very--TROUBLING---STATE

Our -bond -of -LoVE, -as-- FAThER--, and --SON
Is --renewed, --for --him, --now-- at --age --thirty --eight--, as --HE-- is --my --SON --my --SON,-- my --know --it --all --SON,--my-- number--ONE

Foe many many, many a very distant and very hurtful--YEARS
I know, that this extreme distance caused each of us, --great--great--great-- hurt --and---TEARS

But-- this --very--precise--EXACT--MOMENT
The --UNBREAKABLE--BOND--of --LOVE, --CARE, --CONCERN, --COMPASSION, --TRUST--and --RESPECT, --is --healed --without,-- all --of --the --past,--hurts--hates---arguments--and-- fall --out --differences --and--RESENTS

For --HIM
I --am --with --HIM--, and-- WILL-- BE--by --HIS--side --to --help --HIM--to--BE--HIS-- --BEST-- of --HIS-- --BEST--and --to --IMPROVISE-- ADAPT-- and --OVERCOME-- every-- challenge --test-- and --turmoil-- strifes --troubles --and --TEST--and--as--his----dad--help--HIM--WIN--baby--WIN

My son, my son, my know it all SON
He had, alot of responsibilities growing up and being the oldest child, takin charge and taking care of his younger six siblings --while ME, his dad, --was many a times deployed and away, as a --MARINE, --he was more than a big brother, but many times, the --FATHER--FIGURE-- to all the younger kids-- EVERYONE

I always told folks that my oldest son, at age of --TwELVE, --with siblings of --SIX, --under him, that he was, a GOOD---GOOD--GOOD---MAN
When he turned --eighteen--and--graduated--from--high--school--, great distance came between, him and me, and together side by sude no longer eye to eye did we -SEE--and---STAND

Twenty years have come and--GONE
And now this very moment, from sequences of events troubles, turmoil and strife,when the worst of troubles now with great stress--exist, --we--now--stand--together--Very--STRONG--after--so--LONG
