Today I Was a Successful Dad (a poem on the blockchain for my son, Isaiah.)

in poem •  7 years ago  (edited)

To my son, Isaiah:

I love you buddy! If you are reading this on the blockchain years down the line, even if I happen to be dead and gone, know that I live on! Maybe just down the street. Maybe just in zeroes and ones. And hopefully in your heart. But certainly I do live on, because there is no way to die after seeing the light that you have inside of you!

Today I was a successful Dad.


Today I was a successful dad.

I saw a genuine smile on my child's face.

Today, I was a successful dad.

I saw his nose crinkle up, and eyes sparkle with life and joy

Today I was, a successful dad.

I had a connection with my son.

Today I was a success. Even for my endless failures.

Now your light shines bright in me.

And so I'm putting these feelings into words.

Why was I a successful daddy today?

Because you smiled and laughed, and we connected.

And that's how I hope for you to always feel, when you think of me.

I love you, my son.

In so many ways, you are the teacher, and I am the student.

I'm always with you.

Please keep me always, in your heart, if you can.

But no matter what, please know

that your beautiful light

has already changed mine,

forever.

Love,

Daddy

So sweet, I'll have a little one within 7 months and I'm excited and shitting myself at the same time. I hope I can put up something like you on the blockchain for my kid.

Haha, "excited and shitting" myself sums up the feeling pretty accurately. Congrats! Looking forward to hearing about your little one when the time arrives!

Wish my dad had the courage to say it to me when he was still around but I am sure he was always thinking it.

This made me all teary! What a beautiful sentiment.
