A father loves that son, who most obeys, <br />And maintains sense of values in his life, <br />And tends to parents when old, in last days, <br />With faith in God, unswerving, amidst strife. <br /> <br />A son loves father who is role-model, <br />And lives an exemplary life on earth, <br />Good-principled, undaunted, healthy, well, <br />And loves the son, whole-heartedly from birth. <br /> <br />With time, the son must equal father’s feats, <br />Surpassing him in fields where possible; <br />The father’s happy when son, glory meets, <br />And does great things which were impossible. <br /> <br />Like father, so will son then tend to be- <br />A truth the world will almost, always see. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-3-2008<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-like-father-so-son/
